McCain\'s acceptance speech viewed by more people than Obama\'s....

[GmanJoe]

.....by 500,000 viewers.

Both set records for either party but it seems McCain wins by a hair. This just means there are tons of undecided voters who wanted to hear what McCain had to say. Delaying the speech for NFL\'s opening night helped. There\'s a lot of grid iron fans who stayed on to see what the Republicans had to say.

Let\'s just say that if it was  a tennis match instead of football game that night, I doubt the tennis fans would have wanted to watch McCain\'s speech.

Holy shit! Seriously? Man....this election is one of the most important since the Cold War days.

The amount of channels dont mean much when they are all national.  That just meant that some had to watch a cable news network they usually dont watch.

Its not like any of them were niche channels.

what you really want to say is: If anything is better than Obama\'s, it doesn\'t count.

Edit: USAToday\'s poll McCain leads by 50% vs 46% for Obama.

where the fuck have you been? I dont care about either much and I am not voting.

Actually what it means is that 3 networks felt it worth of airing the DNC, and not the RNC.  I heard this on the radio the other day, but I only found one network.  

TVOne - No clue who this is, but I\'m not the demo

Hmm, I think intellectual democrat voters watched both speeches to get a well rounded knowledge of both candidates. Pick up driving republicans were polishing their rifles during Obama\'s speech.

Or, maybe McCain is just a big celebrity.

DOnt know how i missed this......


you do realize that national polls in a presidential election are just about worthless right?

[videoholic]

Yeah, because the last two predicted Gore and Kerry.

If it was Obama leading, you\'d be happy about it. But for McCain, it\'s worthless. Didn\'t we have a conversation like this already in another thread? Oh yes we did. It doesn\'t count if it\'s going good for McCain.

Its all about electoral votes. Why do we have that system still anyway? Why did we ever have that system?

[Viper_Fujax]

so the smaller states have a larger percentage of the vote. it\'s not that black and white about the electoral college being bad. If we didnt have it, then california, new york, and a few others would decide the president

His speech gained alot more viewings because of Palin....she did pretty well for her prime time debut....i didn\'t like how she kinda talked down \'bout Obama\'s community service, but she did it with a kind of sarcasm and charisma that you really couldn\'t hate her for(well i did..bein a dem an\' all..).....but lately since she\'s been campaigning with McCain, she says the EXACT same things she\'s stated at the convention...how many times is she going to say.."i\'ve sold that plane on ebay?"...give it a rest, that slogan is tired....

I\'ve poked fun at McCains speech in that other thread, but i actually just thought it was your run of the mill speech...nothing great, but not poor either, just meh....one thing that is happening tho, is that this Palin chick is giving the republicans an adrelinine(spel) boost.

again you dont pay attention b/c I am not voting for either.
