An Air America success story
I have a coworker who is basically a recovering Bush* supporter. He is African American, a former Army Ranger, and, it turned out, was (like all too many Americans) getting a fairly heavy dose of reich-wing talk radio (his drug of choice happens to be O'Really).

As it happens, we are fortunate enough to be among the first few AA markets (with our huge tally of four electoral votes :-) ), at least for O'Franken and Randi, so I suggested that he listen to it, too, so as to get a "fair 'n' balanced" perspective.

And....bingo! Just yesterday afternoon he mentioned that he had pretty much come around to what Franken was saying!

Of course, as I write this, he has the local conservoid Cheap Channel host on in his cubicle; here in one of the bluest of blue states, we have no local lefty host...
