Whether you like what he's saying or not, his "straight talk from the heartland" theme is exactly true. He says what he thinks, and you're right that he has no interest in insider "kool kid" DC political games.

When you hear the people who call in to his show it's clear the kind of people he appeals to. People who are sick of being lied to. Reagan democrats. Moderates. Ed's been playing his Kerry promo all the time, too. It's the only one I've heard in a while. If Big Ed accepts Kerry at face value (and so far, so good) the people who listen to his show will too. Best PR Kerry could get.
