McCain is just filler until Palin talks again next week.
Real men who watch football were going to vote for McCain anyway, no big deal.
But they cannot change the fact that Governor Palin got the BIG ratings...ha ha ha
don’t they usually put thursday games at espn?
well maybe then the repubs should get several, uninterrupted hours of prime time on nbc
Hey..you forgot us real women who watch football!!!
Didn’t they move the game up to 6pm Central time? It could be over just in time for the speech.
The game was moved up an hour and a half so that it might end prior to McCain’s speech.
Now, there’s a salient observation.
The speech starts after the end of the game.
That’s right, kickoff is 7:07 Eastern. Game should finish just about when McCain takes the stage. McCain will surely wait for the end of the game unless it goes to OT or is delayed by a thunderstorm or something.
“Real men who watch football were going to vote for McCain anyway, no big deal.”
My theory is football season is worth 3 point for republicans.
Democrats are girlie-men!!!! Guy don’t want to be weenies during football season.
Game starts at 7PM EDT. Should be over by 10:15.
Besides, since McCain and Palin “made sure” the announcement press conference last Friday fit nicely into Rush’s commercial breaks, I think the GOP can “ensure” McCain doesn’t start until the game is over.
I remember in 1988 when a Mets-Dodgers LCS game (which was in LA) was bumped to 10:30 PM Eastern time because of the vice presidential debate between Quayle and Bentsen and many New Yorkers were ticked off about it.
don’t care how many people watch, just how many vote for McCain/Palin on 11/4
BTW,
TUESDAY NITE CONVENTION RATINGS, 10 PM ET
FOXNEWS 6,179,000
NBC 4,468,000
CNN 3,220,000
ABC 3,098,000
CBS 2,928,000
MSNBC 1,590,000
I the NFL is from 7-10PM ET and the McCain speech is scheduled I “think” for 10PM ET.
It might cut into McCain a little bit and no doubt there will be snarking about his “numbers”...but the most important speech in the entire process will happen 11-4-08. Thats the one I get to make [along with 250million or so of my voting compadres].
He’ll recover from a little football.
I had no idea...thanks! I’m glad I won’t miss the NFL game and the speech!!
with a 7:07 kickoff, the game should be over by 8:00.
From a Redskins fan (sob)...
luckily I have both a plasma and an lcd hi-def. now, which will I put football on.....................
