Air America is coming to Colorado Springs !

[kentuck]

Can you believe it? It was reported in today's "Independent" alternative newspaper. Tooting their own horn, they said they helped "persuade" Citadel Broadcasting to start airing Al Franken opposite Rush Limbaugh. It will be broadcast on 1300AM, formerly a right-wing talk station, from 10 AM to 1PM...Can you believe it? :)

3. WOW.

I don't know much about the political air up there, but I read in "Fast Food Nation" that it is very Repub. friendly. Am I right? If so, that that rules! Now I just need it to air here in Conservative Arizona.

6. Colorado Springs is home to Focus on the Family !

This is a big move for AAR ! :) They are coming right to the front lines!

8. Oh, those people...

:puke:

4. Holy cow!!!

That's the last place I would think it would go. The Springs is pretty conservative.

I'm in Lakewood. I don't think their signal is strong enough to reach Denver. But it's great news for the listeners down there!!!! :hi:

5. Isn't Colorado a swing state?

They went for Clinton in '92, and if you combined Nader voters, we only lost to * by three points. This could help out Colorado in play.

9. Last I heard, Colorado was +9% for Bush

and I don't believe it for a second. It's much closer than that, and trending Democratic. It's very odd living in Denver because it seems like everyone here is progressive and hates Bush, yet the state is considered conservative.

10. * was also leading in PA and FLA outside the MOE

I don't trust the current polls since we are no where near the election, and I strongly believe Colorado is in play this year. They are also a socially liberal state in some cases, am I not right?

7. Fabulous news!

Wish a station in Kansas City would carry Air America.
