Well, all of us who know that talk radio has saved the democracy are looking for a compelling reason to get serious about seeing a Republican, even John McCain, in the White House.

In case you forgot, here is one compelling reason: The Fairness Doctrine!

Every other rationale to hold your nose and vote Republican pales in consideration. Sure, all of us in talk radio can continue being preoccupied on tangential issues, big or small, principled or petty. (For example, although I strongly support McCain, I strongly agree with Mark Levin’s sharp reaction to Phil Graham’s gloating that conservatives should get on the McCain train while tickets are available. The McCain campaign should quickly send Phil back to Texas before Conan O’Brien pulls the Phil Graham clips out of his archives and makes a fool out of him a second time.)
