42 million watched Obama's acceptance speech!
Thats more than Bush's acceptance speech.

Thats more than Olympics openning ceremonies.

Thats more than the final of American Idol show.

Thats more than the Academy Awards this year.

Thats double the amount that watched Kerry's acceptance speech.

Thats more than any other political convention in the history.

(C-SPAN's numbers are not included)

5. Wow.
I was listening on NPR because my television is in a different room from the computer (reminder to self: buy laptop and have willing brother-in-law set up wireless) but I can believe that.

15. At least!
A tangentially related question. Can't cable tv providers determine which station someone is watching? Wouldn't my cable provider know how many of their boxes were tuned to their CSPAN channels in nyc last night? Although maybe they don't like releasing that information for competitive reasons.

16. I don't believe for one second that this race is "neck in neck"
That is total bullshit manipulation to provide a cover for their upcoming election fraud.
