Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s speech during Wednesday night’s Republican National Convention bested Democratic speeches from Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and, in some cases, Barack Obama in preliminary ratings.
Speaking last night, along with former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Gov. Palin took in a 5.4 rating/8 share on NBC, according to preliminary overnight household data from Nielsen Media Research, measuring 55 markets across the United States.
In terms of this year’s conventions, the preliminary rating for NBC’s coverage last night is higher than any other night of the convention on the broadcast networks, including Sen. Obama’s nomination acceptance speech on Aug. 28.
However, the ratings are preliminary and are subject to change.
ABC averaged a 4.0/6, up more than a full ratings point against the DNC’s third day, and CBS scored a 3.1/5, beating its previous Wednesday coverage by 29%.
That’s the liberals’ specialty—unintended consequences!
Indeed. 'Destroying her' was a brilliant stateregy at the time LOL
Drudge has the Tuesday numbers and Fox trounced MSNBC.
However, the ratings are preliminary and are subject to change... once the network can figure out how to spin them
bttt
That’s correct, and just think, those who didn’t watch are seeing all the coverage of it from the media today, and shocking..most of the coverage has been good.
You sowed the wind, nutroots. Enjoy reaping the whirlwind.

I suspect some folks are deeply saddened.
Blow back for the msm
How ironic, the liberal media may have put the McCain/Palin ticket over the top. The Dems and the media are the gang that can't shoot straight, they get theri vison blurred by their hatred and anger. They will all have to see psychiatrists after the election as they once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. PLEASE MEDIA - KEEP UP THE HATE FILLED ATTACKS ON THE GOP, IT HELPS!!!
Don’t say blow! 0bama might be reading!
according to Drudge..
TUESDAY NITE CONVENTION RATINGS, 10 PM ET
FOXNEWS 6,179,000

CNN 3,220,000
ABC 3,098,000
CBS 2,928,000
MSNBC 1,590,000
I’m glad you qualified your statement because the uber-lib, feministas in my office were just horrified by the speech. That’s how I know it really was effective.
One website said 30 million. But I’m sure more accurate numbers will come out later.
It really backfired on all the character assassins.
They created all the interest, attracted a lot of people that wouldn’t have watched a GOP convention, including a ton of undecided - and now they’re not undecided anymore!!!
I though I would share this with you folks since I just rea it..And don’t know if it has been posted here or not..

Thank you for posting this. It was the first thing I looked for when I logged on this morning.
If there was a condom created for their mouths to prevent the consequences of foot-in-the-mouth disease, I wouldn't recommend it. (They wouldn't know how to use it consistently and correctly, anyway)
