Multiple-time BlogTalkRadio guest Senator John McCain cinched a crucial victory in Florida’s Republican presidential primary yesterday, taking the lead as the GOP frontrunner heading into Super Tuesday.

There was a time when a lot of people counted McCain out - as both a politician and a serious contender for the presidential seat. At BlogTalkRadio, he found a medium to voice his opinions, issues and politics.

Senator McCain and his campaign made numerous appearances on BlogTalkRadio this past year. He was a three-time guest with Ed Morrissey on Heading Right Radio. For an interesting read and links to those shows, visit the entry we posted after McCain came back to win the New Hampshire Primary.

Congratulations, Senator McCain, when others turned their backs, BlogTalkRadio was here. As a citizen broadcasting network, we do that for presidential candidates, celebrities and everyday people. Join the conversation.

UW-Milwaukee Student To Host State Supreme Court Race Debate on BlogTalkRadio.

Panther Talk Live host and UW Milwaukee student, Kyle Duerstein will bring the two Wisconsin State Supreme Court candidates on to BlogTalkRadio today at 5:30pm ET (that’s 4:30pm CT for your Wisconsinites).

Both Justice Louis Butler and Burnett County Circuit Judge Michael Gableman will be live on the program for a debate and will take questions live from callers.

Check out this video from WISN 12 for more information or see the article in the Wisconsin State Journal, which reported:

Duerstein said although his weekly Internet radio talk show on www.blogtalkradio.com has a conservative bent, he plans to remain neutral during today’s debate. “I’m not going to do a hatchet job on either candidate,” he said. “I want the people to ask their questions.”

We do too.
