FReepmail me if you want to be on or off the list.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

[Reagan Man]

.... TV viewership was fairly high...

Viewership on the Big 3 networks was the lowest ever. I don't think cable watchers boosted overall ratings much. Fox and CNN had good numbers. Political junkies always tune in for a look see.

PresBush came out ahead with likely voters, 51% to 47%. A good indicator.

First poll I've seen in a long time with the President over 50%. I love how the liberals are going on and on about how "well received" the convention was. Sure, it was well-received - by the liberal media. The proof is in the pudding, dears. The country was unimpressed. Deal.

Suuuuuuuuuure it was well received... if you can call a flatlined campaign "well received." No bias there. <sarcasm
