23,000,000-plus watched Laura's speech.

Fox News beat ABC's viewership by more than 1,000,000 people for Laura, Arnold's speeches.

CNN loses the night to MSNBC and Fox News.

Fox News almost DOUBLES CNN and MSNBC combined.

Does anyone keep track of CSPAN numbers to add to the mix?

I'd really like to find the joker who wrote the Bush twins' material. Obvious DNC plant.

The twins did great! They were right on in dealing with and catering to their peers.

Could be. When I read here on FR that the well-digger was under attack, I immediately tuned into PMSNBC!

Nielson probably records C-SPAN's rating, along with PBS's. It's hard to find the information unless you have some sort of in in the industry.

Also.. the overnights DID NOT include NYC for the Broadcast networks.

Wonder how that compares to the Dem numbers.

Powerful presentation + high viewing = convention bounce.

I believe the twins wrote it themselves. And I liked them.

You can't compare the two numbers because the Networks covered night one of the DNC, and didn't cover night two.

I know some of their peers (who are strongly pro-Bush) who winced with pain at the Bush twins' comments.

Now this is something to crow about.

23+ million watched Laura and Ahnold compared to 24 million for Kerrys big coming out party. Winner Republicans Nov 2.

I like the twins a lot. But it was not their finest moment.

I wish they'd stuck to their more straightforward selves.

Can we compare it to night 1 and night 3 of the Dem convention??? That was one of the major reasons Kerry didn't get a bounce. No one was watching.
