Answer 1

Not really. Palin's doing great for his image.

Answer 2

Nope.  They both got 42.4 million viewers each.

--------------------------------------...

Nielsen said that 38.9 million people watched McCain accept the GOP nomination Thursday on either ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel or MSNBC. PBS, which has a more imprecise estimate based on samples in a few big cities, said 3.5 million watched on its network.

Last week, Obama's speech in Denver was seen by 38.4 million on 10 different commercial networks, and an additional 4 million on PBS.

Add it up, and that's McCain, 42.4 million, to Obama, 42.4 million.  

Answer 3

Only because he was on right after the football game

Answer 4

No.

It's a historical time.

We'll either have the first black President, or the first female Vice President.

There is no surprise to me at the interest at this election.

History will be made either way.

Answer 5

I'm afraid I don't really care.

Answer 6

McCain is better than Obama per media ratings.

Answer 7

And such a boring speech at that.  McCain looked like a corpse up there.  That bodes well for Obama.  

Answer 8

He might of had more viewers but half of them feel asleep by the end.

Answer 9

Bad news for him----it means millions saw his snoozer geriatric excuse for a speech.

Answer 10

its because 38 million wanted a good laugh or wanted to go to sleep
