Jon Stewart's announcement last Thursday of his "Rally to Restore Sanity" on Oct. 30 has, not surprisingly, generated significant interest from "Daily Show" fans. (The current number of people signed up on the rally's Facebook page is 140,000). But it also prompted some confusion, even from longtime fans. What is Stewart trying to achieve? Does this mark a more formal embrace of politics? Will this change the way he's perceived?

140K already. To have it trump Glenn Becks and all of Sarah Palin's rallies combined makes me happy. Just the potential of it is great. The message is great. If I lived a little closer, I would try to attend.
