We didn't see this one coming! John McCain's speech during last night's Republican National Convention has beaten Obama's speech in the ratings! The Hollywood Reporter says that McCain's speech reached 500,000 more viewers than Barack's did the week prior.

McCain received 38.9 million viewers, while Obama received 38.4. This makes McCain's speech the most watched in convention history, 41% higher than Bush's acceptance speech four years ago.

The Hollywood Reporter says, "McCain was aided by a strong NFL lead-in on NBC, which brought 13.6 million viewers right to the doorstep of the 10 p.m. telecast."

Did you tune in? Do you think McCain delivered?

If Obama gets elected... consider the US to become just another 3rd world country! Let him go author another memoir and leave the big decisions to the people who really do LOVE this country! It's amazing how no one will admit to voting for a republican but yet we had one for 8 years! The irony is that no one liked Bush but yet he won. I wouldn't be surprised if half the democrats jump off the Obama bandwagon at the last second. Obama's a good speaker but that's it! He needed Biden for the experience - it's obvious McCain doesn't feel the same way when picking his VP, he appears to be more confident in himself. I'm not voting for a President who needs to double check with his VP everytime he makes a big decision. We need someone that's gonna take the bull by the horns!

I don't know why you wouldn't see this coming. Republicans turn into those trash radio programs like Rush Limbaugh and watch fox news Bill O'Reilly alot. More republicans are older white people and they watch this stuff. Baracks supporters are younger and could care less about watching the convention. It's like the polls. Their done on land line phones and more of Baracks supporters use strictly cell phones so their not polled. It all really boils down to who is going to go out and vote in november.
