From the Radio Right Comes an Amen Chorus for Palin
Last updated: September 5, 2008 - 7:15am
In a long corridor leading into the Xcel Energy Center that is packed with radio broadcasters, a new narrative about the presidential election was emerging rather noisily, at least among those on the right who make their living in front of microphones. Many conservative hosts, who had been downright skeptical of Sen. John McCain and his unorthodox brand of Republicanism, are ecstatic about Palin -- all the more so because her nomination helps them strafe their favorite target. From the titans of talk -- Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham -- to conservative hosts who loom large in their local markets, the cheering for Palin has been nearly unanimous.
