As MMFA's Karl Frisch explained on the liberal Stephanie Miller show on Wednesday: FRISCH: For going on a couple of weeks now we’ve heard them talk about the Rally to Restore Sanity and the March to Keep Fear Alive…

How bad is it getting for the likes of Dem MSM cheerleaders like Keith Olbermann?  Bad enough that on tonight's Countdown, Olbermann was reduced to arguing that Dem losses would really be wins. Case in point: the predicament of incumbent Dem congressman Tom Perriello of Virginia, who is likely to be defeated by Republican Robert Hurt. Even David Corn of the leftist Mother Jones mag didn't…

The Rally's staff has recieved more than 1,000 requests for press credentials for the event. Only 400 were given out.
