Brit Hume reported that the highest rated cable news show ever was FOX NEWS coverage of Sarah Palin’s speech on Weds night.

We so desperately NEEDED to get the Message out! That was by FAR the hardest thing to accomplish! AWESOME! Just AWESOME! Obama’s time in the spotlight is not got a ticker to its end, and that my friends will be on Nov 2nd when John McCain is elected President of the United States.

And yesterday AirAmerica’s Ed Schultz was just saying the ratings would be in the tank because of the Skins/Giants game. Looks like we get the last laugh once again on that blow-hard Lefty.

"McCain TV Ratings Beat Obama in Preliminary Numbers"

Presidential candidate John McCain's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention drew more television viewers than his rival Barack Obama attracted at the Democratic party's event last week, according to preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research.

Anyone know where I can get a McCain/Palin bumper sticker? Thanks

From the Hollywood Reporter (Sorry I work in La La land)

I’ll paraphrase:

Palin’s speech pulled in 37.2 million viewers for broadcast & TV viewers. 55% higher than Day 3 of the DNC (Biden’s and Clinton’s speech).

Up 99% from RNC’s 3rd day in 2004(18.7 mil) and also beat GWB’s acceptance speech in 2004 (27.6 mil)

Came close to upsetting Barry’s speech(38.4 mil), the most watched convention speech in convention history (my note: which mean Sarahcuda was the 2nd most watched in convention history)

The Palin speech also drew more female viewers than Hilda Beest’s last week.

Unlike Obama on Fox last night, I can admit a mistake. I thought six months ago I could never vote for McCain because he is not a Republican. But after this week, his speech last night and of course after Mrs Palin speech, I may not just vote for the guy, I may actually donate money and time to his campaign.

What a week this has been!!!!

[peggybac]

In an AP story I read, the headline states, “McCain, Obama tied in TV Audiences.” If you read down a few paragraphs it says the GOP had more viewers the 3 nights than Obama and that McCain beat out Obama between their acceptance speeches. Why can’t the AP ever tell the truth? If the roles were reversed it would blare that Obama won the TV audience by.... It drives me nuts!

[PosterQue]

Someone please help me, I think I have lost my mind!

I have read several transcripts of his speech today and NOWHERE do I find the section where he says something about "vetoing any pork barrel bill that comes before me, and I will expose those who brought it and YOU WILL KNOW THEIR NAMES--YOU WILL KNOW THEIR NAMES!"

Did I have an auditory hallucination, or was that ad-libbed and left out of the "official" transcript? I remember it distinctly because he repeated the last part twice.

Thanks, FReepers!

Who would you rather watch, an angry Marxist, or a remarkable American story of sacrifice and service?

[TDT]

This election is so McCain’s already.

Add in President Bush’s many potential October surprises such as victory in Iraq and/or Iranian smackdown and the 527 Obama “swift boating” (term used with affection) Obama doesn’t have a chance.

I’m going to fight for my cause every day as your President. I’m going to fight to make sure every American has every reason to thank God, as I thank Him: that I’m an American, a proud citizen of the greatest country on earth, and with hard work, strong faith and a little courage, great things are always within our reach. Fight with me. Fight with me.

Fight for what’s right for our country.

Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.

Fight for our children’s future.

Fight for justice and opportunity for all.

Stand up to defend our country from its enemies.

Stand up for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.

Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We’re Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.

Thank you, and God Bless you.

In Manchester last night, there was just one reporter and one photographer waiting for McCain as his plane -- a white, blue and gold Boeing 737-400 emblazoned with his campaign slogan, "Reform, Prosperity, Peace" -- touched down on the Wiggins Airways tarmac.

The Vietnam War veteran limped as he made his way down the metal stairway, a leather briefcase in one hand and a cell phone in the other, and walked straight into an awaiting Chevy Suburban.

American flags waved in Berlin at the Obama's rally - a display of rediscovered friendship; some 200,000 Berliners turned out for the speech.
