I think eventually he will do all on his own. Hmmm...not sure about that. I have wondered for a long time how to counter right wing radio...opening left oriented stations is not the answer...we are not good at it. The fairness doctrine would only come across as suppression of freedom of speech and give them a bigger bullhorn. I guess I am not making myself clear enough. I think he will self destruct....that's the nature of his personality. He will always have a following to some degree but I think his popularity is cresting. All this PR is working for him short term but in the long term, it will hurt him. The Obama folks seem to have found the answer...showcase them to the country. Let the country really hear how extreme these folks really are and associate the GOP with their crazy ideas ...it's brilliant...the center will be repulsed. Exactly. That's why I think long term he will be hurt by all this exposure.

"Let the country really hear how extreme these folks really are and associate the GOP with their crazy ideas ..." Yeah. I think the campaign opened their eyes. The Republicans let their loons run free. So, they decided to take advantage of that. Which would explain why they are so open about what they are doing. They are relying on the loons to come out in force, and they are so transparent because all but the loons will be able to see what is happening.
