My two children, 19 and 20, have grown up listening to politics. Their grandmother, my mother, would pick them up from school when they were in grade school and they would listen to Hannity on the way home. Her tv was always tuned to Fox News, there were many discussions at her house and ours, and we followed the Alabama Governor's race in 2002 with much anticipation.
