FWIW, the speech ratings

#1 Post by gsabc » Fri Sep 05, 2008 1:31 pm

Reuters wire story:

A record 38.9 million U.S. TV viewers watched John McCain accept the Republican nomination for president on Thursday, slightly more than the 38.3 million people who tuned in for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's speech, Nielsen Media Research reported.

McCain's tally was also higher than the 37.2 million Americans who tuned in to hear Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's address, Nielsen said on Friday.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

McCain got 41% more viewers that Bush's acceptance speech four years ago.
