38.9 million people viewed McCain's address to his convention in St. Paul, while 38.4 million watched Obama's speech in Denver, according to the Neilsen ratings.
Significantly more men than women watched McCain's speech, while more women than men watched Obama's speech.
More than 5 million more white viewers watched McCain's speech, but more than 4.5 million African-Americans tuned into to watch Obama accept his party's nomination.

McCain benefited from the extraordinary questionable publicity generated by his running mate and because more people were home from the summer holidays.
They thought more people would be watching the NFL than McCain, and it turns out in spite of the Footbal game - McCain does better than Obama.
Obama is TOAST, baby.
Obama
ROH! ROH! ROH!
P.S. And believe you me, I''m looking forward to those debates.
For those who missed it:
No discussion of the issues
Distractions
Lies
Terrorists
9/11
War, War, War
McSame was a POW.
That pretty much sums up the RNC.
Republicans hope you''''re too stupid or lazy to fact check.
Palins speech and McSame''''s speeches in particular were so sprinkled with lies it was hard to find a true statement wedged between all the BS.
Palin stood there, read a teleprompter, and threw out insults. Dave Chappelle could have done that, And at least he could have made it funny.
But on top of that, the very fact that you have John McCain who throughout his life has shown poor judgement and relied on connections from rich people like his wife freightens me even more.
McCain admits he knows little about the economy which needs the attention of a smart and sound decision maker like Barrack Obama who has the guts to raise taxes on the rich to pay for the wars Republicans insisted on carrying out but more importantly to shore up our fiat-currency the "dollar" to curb the hyper-inflaton caused "defecit spending".
I hope we see Obama as President. We simply cannot afford more George Bush''s policies from John McCain.

REFORM! Who the h*ll is he kidding?" He''s up to his ears in Karl Turdblossom and the same lobbyists and special interests that that have nearly ruined this nation and killed so many of our brave sons and daughters in Iraq.
I''m not buying it. Not one. single. solitary. word.
John: Just give it up. Stop dirtying yourself in the hog''s slop pit. You used to be so much better.

ObamaAcropolis made of styrofoam!
I am the father of a child with special needs, i have received hundreds of email all over the country from parents of children with needs, to go out and campaign for Sarah. We are hundreds of thousands all over America.
John McCain''s speech at the republican convention, and his political record show resolve, and diligence in his determination to bring integrity, and ethical principles, into his the White House. He has proven himself to be a man of moral character, and tenacity, bringing honor back into the political arena. While inviting the Nation to join him is the fight to rebuild a strong America. "How refreshing"!
I would like to speak to the endless rhetoric, and undue use of exaggeration in contemptuous and condescending remarks from the %u201CObama supporting public%u201D. %u201CIt is bad for politics, and it%u2019s bad for your candidate%u201D. You can be civil to make your point, "even if it%u2019s a bad point".
OBAMAS BERLIN %u201CSMOKE AND MIRRORS SPEECH%u201D
The American and European mainstream media reported Mr. Obama%u2019s Berlin speech in hagiographic terms. They repeatedly referenced the thousands of people who attended Mr. Obama%u2019s speech in Berlin.
Then Obama gave a impressive speech in the tradition of great U.S. presidents such as Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy %u2026%u201D
Yet, in all the reporting about Mr. Obama%u2019s speech in Berlin, not once was it reported ANY media outlets in America or Europe that Obama%u2019s appearance was preceded by two free concerts by Reggae artist Patrice and rock artist Reamonn. Both of whom are very popular performers in Germany.
With all the comparisons with Kennedy%u2019s %u201CIch bin ein Berliner%u201D speech and Reagan%u2019s %u201CMr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall%u201D speech, I do not recall either of those speeches being preceded by free reggae and rock concerts. I do not think Kennedy or Reagan needed the cheap publicity stunt of a free concert by a popular singing star to be able to attract a crowd.
This is not the first time Mr. Obama has used a marquis name singer to draw a crowd and make it seem that the crowd was there for him. To sight another%u2026 During Mr. Obama%u2019s May speech in Portland, he was preceded by a free concert given by The Decemberists. %u201CSmoke and mirrors%u201D.

*** Just because Amnesty Mccain has special needs, doesn''t mean you should support the oil company executives and Amnesty Mccain! Do you really think republicans should be allowed to get away with anything? Like the have the last 8 years? just to be rewarded with 4 more years of destroying the middle class! Why not vote for someone who uses intelligence, rather than supporting whatever the oil company execs and walmart execs tell him to do! I hate Amnesty mccain!
