I'm glad to have him working for our causes. I wasn't too keen to the smell of the effort at first, but I've found myself pretty well engaged in his conversation more than once. Good passion and articulate. Go Jerry!

1. he's a sharp guy
And I like his radio show, but that's me. It's far too wonkish, with not enough of the lighter humor that you find on Franken's show or Morning Sedition. That's what hurt liberal radio for so many years.

3. that's got to be it
he's feeding my addiction to facts and information. I really don't think the only answer to any decline in the popularity of our radio efforts is humour. I do think Springer knows a bit about promotion and sensationalizing, something our party hasn't been as good at as the opposition. He seems to bring heat and light to the equation. I'm optimistic. We'll see.

2. even at the end of his TV telecasts....
he would try and interject some sanity. Try to show how the idiotic behavior of his guests would have no positive outcome, and instead to "be good to yourself, and each other"

it's funny cause i haven't watched that show in a decade

4. I love Jerry
I'm glad some people are giving his radio show a chance. He's a good guy to have on "our side". :)
