Should anyone care that KHOW talk-radio host Peter Boyles is saying Romney and Coffman will lose big time?
I think it matters, to a small degree, because one thing you can say about Boyles, he knows his audience, and he realizes they also think Romney and Coffman are losers. Otherwise, Boyles might have held back.
“I’ve been watching Mitt Romney, and they jammed him up on that 47 percent thing…now he’s trying to ‘soften’ his approach to the ’47 percent,'” Boyles said on air Thursday. “Now Romney is counter-programming. In other words, once somebody takes the lead, and it’s true in radio when somebody tries to counter-program another program, they’ve already lost, if they’re counter-programming. And now Romney is counter-programming Obama. At that point, he’s lost. I really believe it…
Does anyone in this audience really think Romney is going to win this election?
…Coffman is going to get clipped too.
…I say Republicans are going to get clubbed in Colorado as well as nationally… If you can you defend the Republican Party, please call the show.”
Boyles knows his conservative/independent/checked-out audience agrees with him, even the ones who don’t want to acknowledge it, like this caller:
Brett: Hey, I just wanted to call and be straight up honest with you. I definitely have a problem with you calling this election when it’s not even over. It’s 40 days, and there’s so much that can happen in 40 days, and, like you said earlier, talk radio is dominated by conservatives.
Boyles: I take it back. Talk radio is dominated by Republicans.
Brett: OK, even if that’s true, then the majority of the listening audience would be Republicans.
Boyles: Do you want me say what I don’t believe, or do you want me to say what I believe?
Brett: The problem is, when you say that, even for the few people, and I know it’s not your job to care about those people [who may be discouraged from voting]…. We can’t take four more years of Obama.
Callers were getting mad at Boyles, but you could tell they respected him for it, for saying what they see as the sad truth about the President, whom Boyles has been bashing for years.
Boyles: “It’s the truth, and if the truth hurts, so be it,” says Boyles. “Most of the time I hope I’m wrong in the things I believe. I think we’re an empire sliding off into the sea. I believe we’re headed toward such incredible economic chaos in this country…The western world is broke. Brett, it’s over.”
So Boyles gets to be the truth teller, earn some respect from people who don’t want to hear it but agree with him. Brett even admitted Obama will win.
And Boyles gets a couple really good hours of talk radio out of it. Truly, it made great radio.
That’s how Boyles has survived for so long in Denver, and it’s another small sign that Romney is heading south.

this is really important news. Keep us posted on future Boyles
It is not 40 days.
In 2008, 80% of the votes were cast BEFORE magic Tuesday.

There are a lot fewer days left for a game changer than 40.
maybe that should be in caps, bold:
STOP THE PRESSES
Seriously,
the Obama – Rmoney race could have been called as soon as Mitt won the Primary race.
I see Dan Maes getting more votes than Willard Rmoney.
Did I mention that he’s a Mormon ?
Maes pretended to be an undercover policeman while running for office, after actually being a fire ex cop.
Romney just impersonated a cop before he ran for office.
He just goes on and on and ON about all the “birther” nonsense, continually inviting that liar Jerome Corsi on his show to spout more insane lies.
Boyles jumped the shark a long time ago.
boyles has been telling his audience that Obama would have a second term for almost a year now. But, the video of an “honor killing” just went up last week….boyles knows his audience, he also knows “his”
