Howard Stern today "I will cast my vote for Obama"

He went OFF on Romney about Bain, said he should be in jail, made a reference to the Matt Taibi article from Rolling Stone from late August...Stern typically votes democratic, but he despises Romney now....It was a great rant he gave today...

Jesse Ventura was a guest today, and he said he is voting for Gary Johnson...

He's socially liberal, strongly aupports abortion & gay rights...

Ok, so there is sex talk once in a while, but it truly is a funny show....And he is a very good interviewer...

The man has changed PLENTY since then.

Try to actually be informed rather than repeating 30 year old talking points. You don't know what you are talking about.

You may be surprised at how wrong the common perception of him is.

Colorado has a lot of Libertarians and libertarian leaning unaffiliateds. They tend to vote gop because they hate the social programs, excepting their social programs, of course.

Whatever one thinks of him and his topics, he is not stupid. I used to listen to his news segment because he is a really bright guy.

And he has a H U G E audience, which I am sure includes a number of Republicans. I'd say for the "low information voter" he reaches 1000x the numbers the Sunday news shows do.

No doubt he has moved a large number of people to the Democratic side.

And I can't think of a better interviewer. Too bad he couldn't moderate a debate or interview the candidates...

Howard is not stupid, at all. He has a base of working class men that might actually listen to him.
