I agreed to do the show because it was about moms and daughters, a topic on which there's no political epicenter, and because my daughter was participating in the interview.

With the Republican Party flailing about looking for new leaders why don't any of the high-powered conservative radio talkers run for public office?

Barack Obama is a good listener and learns from debate. He needs people around him who have ideas up their sleeves that never see the light of day because they are not among the favored.
