Based on television ratings, Americans were more interested in what John Kerry had to say in his nomination acceptance speech than they were for Al Gore (news - web sites) in 2000.

An estimated 24.4 million viewers watched Kerry's speech on the six biggest networks Thursday night, compared to 21.1 million people who saw Gore four years earlier, Nielsen Media Research reported on Friday.

Considering the media is controlled by the corporations that want bu$h reelected and the coverage on major networks was shitty, I think people still tuned in and are paying attention to the election.
