Does right wing radio respresent the GOP?

I don't know. Does Air America represent TT? I realize conservative talk radio has a much stronger following, but I think they may still be a minority of the GOP. Maybe it's time to stop treating them like the GOP leadership. I dunno.

they drive the debate and frame the issues more than any other group in the party - pigby Nov 7, 10:34 1
- but they didn't get their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice candidate on the ticket. That's telling, to me. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 10:36
I made the point yesterday that it doesn't. But the phrase pixie used was talking about a more specific group. -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 10:34
exactly. I think that segment of the GOP has shrunk since 2004. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 10:34 6
- but I think they won't go away... - Mel Profit Nov 7, 10:36 1
  - Hmmm. But I don't think Reagan Republicans are the same as the current religious right. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 10:36
- I'm pondering the possibility. I have no data to back it up. And the listenership will get a boost with a Dem POTUS and Congress, for sure -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 10:35 3
  - the data you can use is the specific voting breakdowns, and I think you'll find that that group has less of a defection rate than the others. -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 10:36
  - I think the core is probably still there but the fluffy coating is long gone. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 10:36 1
    - mmm..fluffy... -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 10:36
