They also had more than one hour after 10pm IIRC.
Kinda off topic...but with all the idiocy on this site over the past many months, I doubt Mark even checks this thread anymore, unfortunately! And Im not one of those “call in” kinda gals ;-) so YOU do it :-)
I was thinking about that too. The main networks only carried it after 10 and I remember them carrying it for at least 2 hours in prime time 4 years ago. I also think people have more access to other channels on TV and the internet which is competition for the conventions.
The entire primary season was anticlimactic after Cain and Newt dropped out. By the time the primary finally took place in TX, we had no choices but Mitt and Ron Paul. The convention didn’t really offer much new or exciting.
