Herman CainÂ’s WSB Radio show on hiatus; Erick Erickson takes over

Herman Cain, after three years on AM750 and now 95.5FM News/Talk WSB, aired his final show Tuesday night so he could pursue a possible presidential bid.
Program Director Pete Spriggs dubs it a “hiatus.”
“Depending how it goes and what he decides and how successful he is,” Spriggs said, ” it could be a very long-term hiatus from the air. He has the exploratory committee to explore the possibility of running for president. It’ s been impossible to do that as it needs to be done across the country and do his talk show.”
Beginning Thursday, Cain will be replaced in the 7 to 10 p.m. time slot by Erick Erickson, who joined WSB Radio last month and whose show had been airing from 9 p.m. to midnight.
Financial expert Dave Ramsey, who left 640/WGST-AM at the end of 2010 and joined WSB Radio, will cover 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. He had been airing from midnight to 3 a.m.
Cain, a conservative businessman who also subbed for Neal Boortz over the years, will talk with Erickson from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday night, according to Erickson on his website
Conservative Blog & Conservative News Source for Right of Center Activists | RedState.
Erickson has been contributing to CNN’s “John King, USA” for the past few months from 7 to 8 p.m. Erickson did not say how he will reconcile that responsibility but said he will remain with CNN, as well as run his website.
Because of Federal Communications Commission equal-time provisions, if Cain runs for office, it would complicate his ability to air a radio show because an opponent would have the right to request “equal time.”
Spriggs said that is not an issue yet since Cain has not officially declared he was running for office.

Who didnÂ’t see this coming when Savage was dumped and Ramsey put on at midnight. RamseyÂ’s agreement probably hinged on the fact that eventually he would get pushed up after Cain started his bid for the White House.
Now at least I get to hear Dave at a more reasonable time.

So now in WSB am you can get opinions from both sides. You know, conservatives and ultra conservatives.

Is he running for dogcatcher, because that is the only office he can win. Herman you should have called me and I would have told you the truth. You donÂ’t have a chance buddy.

I suppose if you canÂ’t win a statewide race in Georgia, the natural thing to do is run for President. IÂ’m a conservative, but Cain is insane if he thinks he can get the nomination much less win.

He has no chance to win anything—save the millions and stay on the radio with the blowhard boortz.

I was taught at a very early age, if donÂ’t have anything good to say about anyone, be quiet!
I will press my mute button concerning Mr Cain.

I am surprised that this didn’t happen months ago. I don’t know if this was a sack of ol’ Uncle Humon by WSB or not, but I do know that he had the most boring, predictable, ‘always the same topic’ show in the annals of talk radio. I am by no means a political conservative, but at least Ericson is not boring.
Of course, anyone with even half a brain knows that what olÂ’ Herm is really doing is not running for President, but rather making a move to get more publicity so that he can jack up his speaker fees and gt more speaking engagements. (Â’Herman, you sly dog you. Just like Sarah Palin, reallyÂ’). All I can say is that if one is going to be the biggest Uncle Tom around, you might as well get paid for it. See ya Humon.

cain, like palin, could be a great fund raising force for the repubs, however, cain could not even carry georgia for any office .

He needs to start his campaign now. He talks so slow that if he starts his declaration speech today, he should have it completed by Feb. 2012.
Talk about lack of experience, the big blowhard- and not being vetted
