Shouldn't Governor Palin's 38 million viewers be compared with Senator Biden's viewership? Or has the press decided that Palin is at least as presidential as Obama (I know, that's a low standard), and the comparison is fair?

I think its pretty good... the GOP is energized and the Dems are on the defensive for the first time this year!

Good point. Compare her numbers to Biden, not Obama.

It has nothing to do with the press. This is an intentional campaign strategy to keep their number 1 (Osama) running against and justifying himself to our number 2 (Palin). The longer this continues the better for our side. People are actually now questioning if our vice presidential candidate is more prepared for the presidency than their presidential candidate. I hope it goes on for the next two months.

it is silly that libs compare our VP to their #1.
