This is pretty simple.
In general, the conservative hosts do two things:
1) They tap into common sense beliefs that most people agree with
and
2) They leverage the sense of optimism that's the foundation of America and a free market economy (i.e. we're right and markets will grow)
The national Liberal hosts like on Air America tend to be more reactive which is common among Liberals in general. The Liberal case is often outrage at how things are and as such new (or progressive) ideas are necessary.
Now combine this with two aphorisms that I tend to favor...
1) Most people think they're own %$%$%$%$ doesn't stink
and
2) Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
And you have your answer as to why Conservative talk radio is popular.
