This is the most disappointing political season in my life, and the election and vote tampering ought to be putting people in prison, but it is ignored. Voting my party affiliation is no longer a motivator for me- all either party has done is let us down and turn the place into a fascist regime waiting for a dictator who may never leave office, thanks to our do-nothing democratic 'representatives.' Did they forget why we sent them to Washington? Why should I believe they'll remember that now? Not one of the candidates cares what is happening to us and our families.

One is FM and is geared towards music, the other is AM talk radio. The FM station typically stays out of politics, but does talk about abortion (which some would consider political). I'd venture that some percentage are Democrat, but most Republican. The AM talk station has many different programs, from financial to news oriented. Most of the ideas lean heavily towards Republicans, but they don't hesitate to show Republican errors or Democratic positive sides when they fit their viewpoints. I find it interesting that your comment is that Christian Radio has a larger Republican audience. This year has been interesting. It seems that the two leading Democrats are making a big deal out of pointing out that they are Christian. I believe that Obama is trying to overcome a (false) belief that he's Muslim and there have certainly been some (false) propaganda to that effect. Former President Clinton openly said he was Baptist and Senator Clinton is (I believe) Methodist. In past times, the Republicans have gotten a lot of "grief" for their ties to religion, but this year, the Democrats have had their share of religious appearances. My personal opinion is that I like knowing about a candidate's religious affiliation, but I don't trust their statements, I'd rather look at their actions. And I won't cast my vote based on that affiliation, or lack of. Oh, the country stations I listen to probably lean more Republican, but I'm in a state that is more Republican. I firmly believe that they would lean the other way in a Democratic state. They follow the audience. My city has two Christian radio stations.

Randy: Ben pretty much nailed my thinking. Those two genres are typically thought to have a larger Republican audience. I was only pointing out McCain’s Senate avoidance to make the hypocrisy point.

Either Clinton/Obama will have to make the same decisions. I dont see the avoiding Senate votes as a real big winner – like it was on Kerry.
