Linoge, you’re looking at the wrong metrics. People would tune in to see you wear your underwear on your head. Doesn’t mean they’d vote for you.

You really ought to see the polling and fundraising. Obama’s kicking your boy’s butt.

Editor’s note: One word was changed upon request.

… and now that the numbers for McCain’s speech have come out, where is the “Obama is Toast” post anywise?

(Not that I believe viewership in any way indicates the outcome of this election, just saying…)

So the numbers finally came back. Obama had 38.3 million viewers on 10 different networks. Palin, on the other hand, had 37.2 million viewers on 6 different networks. I wonder what would have happened if those four disjoint networks (Telemundo, TV One, Univision, and BET) had aired Palin’s speech as well. And, of course, the same thing applies for not counting C-SPAN, PBS, or streamers, so you can just go ahead and throw out those numbers for both parties.

Oh, and the public opinion polls are starting to equalize up… Looks like the numbers are not working out as well as initially hoped here.

What you folks fail to realize is that viewership doesn’t necessarily mean those viewers are likely to vote Obama. I watched his speech to see what kind of stupid bullshit he was going to spew (and spew he did). I was a “viewer” but certainly am not an Obama supporter.

Consider Biden’s Dilemma.
Both of his opponents look alike.
One for VP and the other for Delaware US Senate.

He could save time debating both at the same time.

MikeM – Most said they’ll vote Obama, but holding their nose while doing it. A couple are waiting for after the debates.

McCain interested them because of he’s well-known and Obama wasn’t, but his movement to the far right has sealed the deal against him. This VP pick was the final straw…they called it pandering to the highest order.

Sharon – thanks for pointing out the obvious!

A pat on the back for you…..

To be honest Liz sounds like an unhinged conspiracy theorist in most of her comments.

I don’t hunt, though I have had venison a few times. It’s quite good and very healthy.

Mmm, yummy! And I had venison burgers at my sister’s last weekend.

Hey Liz, 95% of Delawareans think you’re completely insane! And the other 5% haven’t heard you calling into radio talk shows.

“Many Alaskans think she is just “dumb”.”

Yeah, that must explain her ~90% approval ratings in AK……

And what the hell is wrong with hunting & eating moose?

Hold the phone, Hillary only has one child to Palin’s five! Is that because she had her tubes tied rather than interrupt her political aspirations, or because Bill hasn’t touched her in years?

CE, it’s “throes” not “throws.” Besides, Pelosi might be in the hospital with a botox overdose.

Might I just interject and say that Mc Cain liked the idea of more than one mentally challenged Republican serving with him. He thought at the very least in the dying throws of his presidential bid he might be able to use that for some kind of sympathy vote. And please Rex, remember…Pelosi is 3rd in line to the throne, so if Mc Cain has a boo boo and kicks the bucket and Palin aka “The Rabbit” needs maternity leave (for the 8th time?) So very very very likely… Guess whose number one?!

Fucked the Republicans are.

The really important question is, who will play her on Saturday Night Live? I’m hoping for Kirstin Wiig.
