We need to send more money to the campaign. The Obama camp is saying Gov Palin raised a ton of money for them. They may be full of crap but anyway. Support Sarah, send money!

Magnificent!!

Also, while this will not count in the official TV ratings, we will see many millions more view Governor Palin’s speech on YouTube etc. Of course, Obama has also been adding to his count there, I imagine, but I would wager that over the next couple of weeks Sarah Palin’s speech will come out well ahead in total viewers, since Obama peaked a long time ago and she is a new entity that more and more people will be hearing about, emailing links, etc.

That’s a great point — has anyone done a comparison of which networks broadcast what on the Democrats’ Thursday night vs. the Republicans’ Wednesday night? I imagine that the network schedules favored maximizing viewership for Obama’s speech, although they will claim that was simply b/c he was the Presidential candidate.....

Just to show how compassionate I am, this is for the Obama Campaign:

I've been looking at the breakdown of this -

category snObama SaraBarracuda
12-17 yo 1.1M 0.6M
18-34 6.7M 5.5M
18-49 16.0M 14.1M
55+ 16.5M 17.8M
Af.Am 7.5M 3.0M
Hisp 5.2M 1.4M

M=Millions Look where the difference lies: snObama needed 8M more “color” viewers to get his 38M - except for those, he would have had only about 15% more audience than the two days before with Hitlery and Bill&Biden !!! Those are the unswayables, anyway! Also, 1/2 million of his ‘advantage’ were too young to vote!

BET and Telemundo carried snObama's but didn't carry Palin's. CSPAN not included in these numbers (That is where I watched - no talking heads interrupting.)

Hurricane Sarah Wins the rating race BIG time, I believe.

The McCain List.

How can 37,244,000 people be so smart?

WOW!

That’s HUGH! I’ll bet she picked up alot of new supporters for the ticket

Krauthammer said (last night) that Palin's influence is going to extend WAY beyond the GOP base. I ay many people interviewed who felt quite comfortable referring to her as "Sarah". She's the real deal, and her power and confidence comes from a very strong spirit. I think McCain has found lightning in a bottle.

The entire campaign can be about McCain and Palin savaging the empty suit Obama on Iraq, national security, energy, economic policy, and yes, even federal growth and taxation. Palin is like a superb Peregrine Falcon perched on McCain's arm. We need a full bore offensive for two months. Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack! That gasbag Biden should be completely ignored, like in the movie Tombstone, when Doc Holiday told the newly unemployed Faro dealer: "Oh Johnny. I forgot you were here. You can go now".

Let the revels begin!

Over twenty million women tuned in to learn about Sarah Palin last night. I'd bet that most were as favorably impressed as the folks in your home focus group.

The Obama camp is saying Gov Palin raised a ton of money for them.

So George Soros, Tony Rezko, Khalid al Monsour and all their Saudi friends are scared of the inexperienced hayseed mayor, too. Excellent.

Time to send McCain/Palin another contribution.
