But he caught on like wildfire, and by 1992 had an enormous audience.  He was considered influential in causing the conservative political victories in 1994, and again in 2000 and 2002.  By now, he has many conservative imitators competing against him in certain cities.  Sean Hannity and others have similar shows now.
