I'll bet there's all kinds of elbowing for position already.
Who is your likely suspect?

(14,849 posts)talking to an audience he can't see or hear. He craves the cheering crowds. In fact, after the election is over and the constant rallies end, I expect him to go into serious withdrawal.

(26,035 posts)Over-the-air talk radio is dying just as surely as Rush. Once he's gone, it'll be all about the usual Faux nighttime shows.

(25,342 posts)He still has 15 million listeners, as does Hannity. Talk radio is still big in conservative areas like the Upper Midwest.

Can't stand either one, but I'll bet more stations will pick up both of them.

I'd keep your eye on him.
