The continued success of Air America nearly a year after it's rocky launch should give each and every one of us progressive/liberal/leftist/whatevers a solid charge of positive energy. Coupled with Deans rise to the Chairmanship, the power of the blogs, and
this continued growth of Air America I think we are witnessing a chain reaction of critical mass cutting edge forces that are forming right before our very own eyes our very own progressive noise machine to not only rival but to bring down the Repugs.
HALLELUJAH!!!
That it's hapening so freakin FAST is the exciting thing.

Air America the Beautiful
Inside the nation's liberal radio network
.. "Yes, there's a left-wing radio revolution afoot, and judging from its popularity and profitability thus far, it looks like Rush Limbaugh and his cronies will have to get used to sharing the air they once hogged all for themselves."
"Regardless, you can't ignore that there's something fresh, frank and non-furtive about Air America. It doesn't act underground. It isn't subversive. It's an entire network devoted to a democratic voice that has long been shouted down and ignored by a medium that used to legally require a chance for opposing viewpoints, but for too long has simply settled for what sells."
"in our wildest dreams, we never thought we'd achieve as much as we have, as fast as we have. We're seeing unprecedented growth. To my knowledge, there's never been a network which has grown so quickly. We cover more than half the country terrestrially [i.e. from old-fashioned radio towers], we're on [national satellite radio carriers] XM and Sirius, and we're the fourth-most-streamed audio source on the internet." Air America also brings in a younger audience than most right-wing talk radio--younger by as much as 15 years, with the average Air America listener being a boomer in his mid-40s."
