Anybody think Howard Stern is bringing us votes ?

[bush equals idiot]

I know he can't stand Bush and has a big audience. Do you think he's going to figure in the young voters ?

23. All of his clearchannel stations booted him. But months later he came back

on in every one of those markets plus 3 or so more. Over the last year or so he's added at least 5 net stations I believe.

He's on in plenty of swingstates. The only really major metro he isn't on in, at least the biggest I believe, is Atlanta, but that isnt' a swingstate.

[Mojambo]

2. I'd prefer he bring me Cindy Margolis

But I'll take the votes!

[jdots]

3. I think his listeners don't vote

but if they do,we need them

[saracat]

5. Not true. He is credited with the election of

Christie Todd Whitman in NJ and Pataki in NY.

[bush equals idiot]

6. Is he battering bush on his show?

And talking it up about the election? If he isn't, why the hell not?

[saracat]

7. Apparently he is. I don't listen to him, but he endorsed Kerry and

hates Bush because of the freedom of speech issue. They fined him for saying something that he had said lots of times before and at least temporarily got him dropped from some stations.He hates Bush.

[michigandem2]

24. he hates bush..bashes him a lot on his show...

AND he does influence his listeners..I have heard on numerous occasions when a caller calls in and says I am not voting for Bush this time dude...or "i've never voted before but I know how important it is to vote this time and to vote for Kerry"

I think he might have a small impact

[Carni]

25. Battering is an understatement

In addition to talking about the kind of bush expose info that is on Du, Buzzflash and other places. He out and out calls bush every name in the book and then openly taunts him to come and get him...

I don't think you can get much more blunt than that!

[Cha]

18. Thanks a lot Stern...he needs to

redeem himself..Big Time!

[RhodaGrits]

19. I can blame howard stern for pataki? wonderful

[ArkDem]

26. What a sense of humor!

[0007]

15. Got a mouse in your pocket?

[Bombtrack]

27. You couldn't be more wrong. He's the most profitable radio show in the

country. Which means his demographic is not the poor retarded, uneducated, charactature his bashers like to paint.

[ogradda]

4. might bring us some

i don't think he's hurting us any:shrug:

[NewJeffCT]

9. I think he is helping

I'm sure if it was not for Stern, the white male 25-34 demographic would be more heavily skewed towards Bush than it is now.

Stern went on a tear after reading Franken's book over vacation, then he got reamed by Clear Channel & the FCC in the days following after that...

He had always been wary of Bush & his religious agenda, but supported him overall due to 9/11 / Iraq / Afghanistan. However, Franken's "Lying Liars" really opened his eyes and he has come up with a lot of really good, well-informed material on his shows. I think he had even linked an article on DU once from his website.

[Carni]

29. I have also heard him admit that he was wrong

Not that long ago he more or less apologized for ever supporting bush in any way, shape, or form and he regularly urges his listeners to open their eyes and start paying attention to what is happening to this country.

He has also openly bitched about the Republicans that used him to get elected and has called them out as fakes and liars.

I hate to sound like a Stern cheerleader and frankly in the past I never liked him, or his show. I just thought he was a Chauvanistic money pig laughing and acting crude all the way to the bank...
but I have developed the utmost respect for him over the last few months. He is bringing the truth about bush to an audience the Democrats could never even hope to reach.

If Stern ever ditchs the strippers and fart jokes for political commentary the Conservatives are going to have their hands full because he would be a force to be reckoned with.

[nightperson]

10. I have only gratitude!

}( We are one of his links! }(

"George W. Bush has to go.":

"After another 15 minutes of montage, Stern finally cracked the mic to the tune of "Born In The U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. "It's the end of free speech," said Stern, expressing his dismay and shock over yesterday's vote by the House of Representatives on H.R. 3717, the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2004. "It's really the end. This country is nuts and George W. Bush has to go. If you are a fan of mine, and I reach millions of people, just get him out of office. Your rights are being taken away."

"When I got into radio, it was a wasteland of people playing records and news guys not giving opinions," Stern continued. "I got on the air and changed it. I bucked the system. The reason there are freedoms on the air today is because of what I did. Period. End of sentence. I fought everyone who ever said to me, 'You can't do what you are doing on the air.' I've been fighting it for 25 years so jerk-offs like Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and the whole lot of them could get on the air and have a party. I'm all for it and all for free speech, but remember who got you there. It's not the guys who didn't take risks. It's the guys who are on the front line. Rush Limbaugh wasn't on the frontlines of Vietnam because of his knee injury and he wasn't on the frontlines of the radio industry when I was breaking down all the walls. The same with Bill O'Reilly. He was an anchorman sitting there behaving himself and then they all saw what radio could be and what television could be and what it's like to express themselves. And now they all sit idly by."

[soothsayer]

11. Yes, and he's said he is going to POUND it 3 days leading up to Nov 2

He is a terrific orator/salesman---he will change minds, get voters out, make a difference, YES!

[cthrumatrix]

31. he's on in Florida and the Tampa area..... go howard!

[msanthrope]

12. Stern has excoriated Bush- and his cronies....

every single day on his show for months. He has provided his listeners with links and resources for anti-Bush info on his site.

Most importantly, Howard has helped thousands register to vote through his website.

Don't underestimate the force of this man...

[Shadow30]

13. Yes Howard will help....

....I listen to Howard and he spends some time just about every day slamming Bush.I remember back during the Democratic convention Colin Quinn came in and he is for Bush,Howard ripped him up so bad Quinn sounded a little scared.Howard has basically been going after Bush on everything and supporting Kerry strongly,we need all the help we can get and Howard will be a big help on Nov.2nd.

[Cha]

20. colin quinn needed to be ripped..

Thanks, Stern!

[against all enemies]

14. Stern has been relentless on Bush. His listeners are true swing and

non-voters in the past. He is mining a whole new territory for Democratic voters. I know he has brought voters over from the dark side.

[Pax Argent]

16. I don't have to think; I know he has

at least in the case of one of my friends. My friend is a 40 year old private businessman. I would bring in facts about George and they would be blown off as liberal spin. Then Howard gets up and says the same @#$#@ things I'd been saying for a year and a half and suddenly he becomes aware.

He still whines about having to vote for a liberal but I think he is going to do the right thing at this point.

[progdonkey]

17. at the very least, he'll take votes from Bush...

but there's no guarantee those people will go on to vote for Kerry. I have no clue how many of his listeners will be the "hate Bush but can't vote for Kerry" crowd. Having them vote for Kerry is, obvioulsy, the most preferable, but if he at least gets normally Bush voters to stay home, I'll be satisfied enough.

[Renew Deal]

21. He is

Besides that people have called up and said that they are voting for Kerry because of him. Kerry has a huge loyal audience. They will listen to him. He is planning a huge pro-Kerry push for the last 3 days.

[Carni]

22. He's helping!

For those that aren't typically into Stern's usual schtick.

The news read at the end of the show is typically when Howard and Robyn talk about Bush and Howard gets quite brutal.

I am sure he has influenced voters by exposing bush for what he is
(a lying coniving POS)

[Richardson08]

28. On his website,Howard was registering people to vote

by providing the forms and where they should be mailed in each state

[sendero]

30. It's not even a question...

.... Stern WILL deliver votes to Kerry. How many is not determinable, but if you listened to his rhetoric you'd have no doubt whatsoever.

[Shadow30]

32. as a matter of fact....

.....Howard is attacking the sinclair doc. right now.

[liberal N proud]

33. Maybe, but I know a few repukes who listen to him all the time

and swear by him, but still refuse to sway away from what daddy told them!
