Talk Radio and the 2010 Elections

Major blunder for Mark Levin and Sean Hannity - they vigorously supported Christine O'Donnell in the Delaware Republican primary, thus giving that senate seat to the Dems. Levin and Hannity practically did wall-to-wall infomercials for O'Donnell on primary day and the day before.

I think Sarah Palin and O'Donnell herself who did more damage to O'Donnell's campaign that Groucho Marx on laughing gas and the Wallbanger. Not everyone listens to talk radio.

The point was that it was talk radio that enabled O'Donnell to win the GOP nomination in the primaries. Had she not won the primaries, then she wouldn't have been the candidate who lost yesterday. Without the support of talk radio, which energized the conservative base, Rep. Mike Castle might have been the GOP candidate, and Castle might well have won the election.

It's all conjecture, but this is conjecture based on sound reasoning and common sense.
 
What's bad is that so many made voting and financial decisions on bad
information spread by talk radio and Fox News.

(Bloomberg)—The Obama administration cut taxes for middle-class
Americans, expects to make a profit on the hundreds of billions of
dollars spent to rescue Wall Street banks and has overseen an economy
that has grown for the past four quarters.

A Bloomberg National Poll conducted Oct. 24-26 finds that by a two-to-
one margin, likely voters in the Nov. 2 midterm elections think taxes
have gone up, the economy has shrunk, and the billions lent to banks
as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program won't be recovered.
