Air America was started by a group called Progress Media, which said it had amassed $30 million in venture capital prior to its debut, a claim which later turned out to be untrue (only $6 million was initially collected). Two individuals from Guam, Rex Sorensen and Evan Montvel Cohen, were involved in raising the capital.
Why would two individuals from Guam want to do this??

Because he's a Democrat and all libs have to do to get their party line talking points is open up any issue of the New York Times or any other urban newspaper or flip on the TV news (Fox excluded) or watch just about any mainstream or independent movie. Libs don't need talk radio because they already have far too many choices available to them.

On hotel row (which is very nice) it is swamped with Japanese couples getting married. The place is growing. The school system sucks. A lot of people work for the goverment or military. There is a large military footprint there.

Air America ran into financial trouble within days of its appearance on March 31, 2004, when it turned out that its original chairman, Evan Cohen, did not have the backing he said he did.
Some people at Air America assert that, under Mr. Glaser and the team he put in place, the network was top-heavy with management, inept at selling ads, unwilling to make program compromises that veered from the liberal message and overstaffed with more than 100 employees when two dozen would have sufficed.
“What they did for $45 million they could have done for $10 million,” said Sheldon Drobny, an investor with a contentious relationship with the network.
Hmmm. Liberals overspending. What a shock. But, hold on to your seats, for the best was still yet to come: “Mr. Kelly said he was disappointed that rich Democrats did not step up to support the network’s political goals. On fund-raising calls, he said, he was often turned down because the business plan was too risky.”
Marvelous. So, these folks wanted rich Democrats to fund their operation, but didn’t understand that such folks actually were interested in the quality of their investment.

Originally posted by Dace AceThat's going to be the hard thing for him. He can be funny, but you're right about his debate skills. He's really going to need to work on it or its going to sink him. Fast. He would be running in Minnesota though, so it might not matter. We tend not to care who would make the best Senator. We vote for the letter next to the name, not the candidate.
Al Franken is a twit. When it comes to debate, he quickly resorts to name calling & childish pranks.
