Last week my son was planning to vote for Bush but his morning he was listening to a Jewish Republican talk show host, who is one of his popular programs (Bill Handle on the Law - etc).

The radio host was ranting about how Bush is too radical with his religious viewpoints and how that has effected policy making, far beyond what other Presidents have done in the past.

So he changed his mind and voted for a independant canadate (not Kerry or Bush).

I was wondering if any of you think others have changed their minds due to radio or the influence of TV - did all those expensive TV ads really do any good to change people's minds - minds that were dead set to vote one way but after hearing something on the media (not news but something partisan for the direct purpose of advocating some canadate) re-thought their reasons and now have voted differently?

He is about 30 years old and this is the first time he regestered and really voted. We have a much larger turn-out of voters here in California and I hear that is true in most places across the USA.

Technosoul.
