Also stern would have to leave his radio show because of the "equal time" rule. Stating that every candidate must be allowed equal time on TV or Radio. Either that or Sirius gives each candidate there own radio channels!! Which wouldn't be a bad idea, might bring a few new subscribers.
Ba Ba Booey!!!

Just like Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, and Ross Perot all got equal time.
The way the equal time rule works is that if one candidate gets FREE time, others must also get free time. As long as the campaign actually pays for airtime for anything campaign related Stern does on his radio show there's no problem. If they don't pay, then they just have to give equal time to others if they want it. Neither of which is a problem. The bigger problem is working as a radio host while on the campaign trail. He'll have to take a leave of absence from that job in order to actually run.

I listened to Jesse Ventura on the Stern show today they talked exactly about this..
There is no equal time** rule since satellite radio is not governed by the FCC.
Stern could use his show as a platform the whole time running and not have a problem that
traditional public** airwave radio has.
5 In the United States, the FCC regulates technical broadcast spectrum only. Program content is unregulated. However, the FCC has tried in the past to expand its reach to regulate content to satellite radio and cable television, and its options are still open to attempt such in the future. The FCC does issue licenses to both satellite radio providers (XM and Sirius) and controls who holds these licenses to broadcast.

Why is everyone hating on Stern?
