Last night, I asked how many people would watch Sarah Palin's speech. The largest television audience ever to see a speech at a political convention, I believe, was the 38 million who saw Barack Obama last week. In 2004, 27.5 million watched President Bush's acceptance speech, while 24.4 million saw John Kerry's. This year, 26 million watched Hillary Clinton at the DNC, compared to 21.5 million who saw Fred Thompson and Joe Lieberman Tuesday night.

You are sweet.
Victor:
Don't mean to horn in on your conversation here but I will testify to the fact, both as a fellow Conservative and Squire, that OLENEO65 is one HIP DUDE!!!
BTW, on the subject of this thread - The audience size estimate has been increased to 40 million. :-)
...compared to Senator Obama's audience of over 42 million (Nielsen plus PBS)
Verdict is in McCain and Palin both beat the Messiah. Greek columns and all.
