The San Francisco Chronicle has a good piece about the role California radio talk show hosts played in the recall:

Even though the editorial boards of most of California’s major daily newspapers — including The Chronicle — opposed the recall, “it was ho-hum, nobody cares,” said Shawn Steel, a former California GOP chairman who was one of the recall’s early leaders. “Historians will look back on this election as the time that the combination of the Internet and talk radio overtook the power of daily newspapers.”
