Here is another analysis from http://tvbythenumbers.com/category/ratings/nielsen-overnight-tv-show-ratings

The Barack Obama paid political message rated very well, scoring 26.4 million across NBC, CBS and Fox, with an impressive combined 18-49 demographic rating/share of 8.1/22. Flying solo among the broadcast networks versus Obama, Pushing Daisies was relatively pummeled, but it did actually increase average viewers by nearly a million versus last week’s airing when it only drew 5.67 million. Last night it averaged 6.64 million.

Compare that with this article Dated Oct. 10th. It states that Perot got 26 million viewers with his simulcast in 1992. I dont' think the 26 million viewers Obama got across 3 major channels is all that significant. I'm not sure why some of the numbers don't seem to match, but I am comforted by the overall feeling that Obama wasted a whole lot of money!

Obama’s Oct. 29 Simulcast Follows In Perot’s Footsteps

Perot’s 1992 telecasts drew an average audience of 11.6 million viewers — 4.6% of all viewers nationwide. His one simulcast, carried on ABC and CBS on November 2, 1992 between 8pm and 8:30pm, attracted 26 million viewers.

apparently many of the people who will vote for or already voted for the one, watched him in adoration

I’d settle for him getting 33 million votes

Did not watch this. I had to pick up dog droppings in the yard. I suspect Barry is seriously overexposed by this time. More and more people are hearing the truth come out. Pray that November 4th swings our way.

Some were watching purely for the Sominex effect. Others watched for job purposes, while others just got stuck with it 'cause it was before the World Series.

I suppose a few watched it 'cause they actually like the guy.

"Senator Barack Obama’s infomercial drew 33.5 million U.S. viewers...'

Didn't Sarah Palin's debate draw some 72 million viewers?

He was on every channel on the dial fer crying out loud.

The real story is the 170 million who turned off their sets entirely.

well, 70 million people tuned in to see Sarah in the VP debate...

I wonder what the viewship would be if Sarah did an infomercial?

I'll bet that 50% of the people waiting to watch the world series changed the channel while Obama’s crap was playing.

That's what I would have done.Although I was out having dinner anyway so I missed it.

Is anyone here even a Nielsen rating participant?

I think conservatives would not be as likely to participate in something like that.

I bet the average Nielsen participant is far more likely to be in love with their televisions and be democrats.

Basically this is just another poll of a small number of willing participants that is supposed to represent accurately millions. Anyways, from what we know, it was so bad I doubt it convinced anyone at all.

Well, actually, Fox said this morning that only 17 million watched. I would say that was the real number and this inflated number is BS, especially since earlier Nielsen said that 26 million watched. This is a lot like the inflated numbers for Bozo’s rallies isn’t it?

Obama is doing quiet a bit to promote reading. Every time he comes on in a commercial, I go into another room and read a book.

Can someone give an intelligent but brief critique of Obama's performance and the force, if any, of the infommercial. No one-liners, please.

I didn't watch it due to helping out with the Palin rally that's coming to my town Saturday A.M.

My local talk radio host said today that the Messiah's half-hour came off slick and over-produced. What sayeth some freeper analyzers?
