The replacement of Randi Rhodes with Thom Hartmann on Chapel Hill AM1360 - very glad.

[NRaleighLiberal]

Some months ago, when Randi left the airwaves, our local AM talk station AM 1360 WCHL (Stephanie followed by Ed) went with Thom Hartmann in the 3-5 slot. My schedule has changed and I am in the car quite often during his show. He comes across as really bright, full of great insights and ideas, and a pleasure to listen to (even when he has on the right wing nuts to do battle with them). Sounds like he has been around the block as well, with various roles in various companies. Though I sometimes liked Randi, the coarseness - and especially following the boisterous (but delightful) Big Ed - was a bit much.

What is the general view on Hartmann? He sounds like one of the more sane voices out there, right up there with Rachel M.
