Those of us who follow those who follow Talk Radio ratings are increasingly seeing variations of this message: Rush Limbaugh is losing his ability to influence the voting electorate. Read why, here.

Holland Cooke, talk radio analyst

WTOP Radio in Washington, D.C. is the repeat "top biller" in radio. The station has more money coming in than any other radio station in the nation. Who gets credit for launching WTOP toward its glorious status?

Please consider joining. Small donations are also accepted to fund data storage; visit StopRush for more information.

Thus continues the downward spiral since Rush first became obsessed with a college student testifying on capitol hill . That link documents more than twenty separate instances of Rush obsessing over Fluke SINCE his three day tirade earlier this year. Rush is sometimes his own worst enemy.
