Apparently Barack Obama's Democratic presidential nomination acceptance speech and Sarah Palin's "pitbull with lipstick" speech were just lead-ins to John McCain's Republican presidential nomination acceptance speech:
Interestingly, Josh Marshall notes that more women watched Obama's speech (19.9 million) than McCain's speech (19.5 million).
Nearly 39 million people watched Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s acceptance speech on the closing night of the GOP convention Thursday in St. Paul, Minn. That broke the week-old convention record of upwards of 38 million viewers set by Sen. Barack Obama only the week before.
Sen. McCain amassed an audience of 38.9 million viewers for his speech on two fewer channels than were carrying Sen. Obama’s speech Aug. 28 to 38.38 million viewers, according to data from Nielsen Media Research.
Funny thing about that stat - I know of NO one that watched it!
