Just think: He did it all without the help of a fake Greek temple in the background!
And as I noted in this post, Gov. Palin was no slouch either - coming in at about a million less viewers than Obama’s numbers. Quite impressive for someone new to the national political scene, especially when you consider the fact that she had six less networks broadcasting her speech than Obama did.
The AP cracks me up here in their article talking about how many watched McCain and Obama’s speeches, declaring that it was a “tie” between Obama and McCain for the number of viewers who tuned in to hear their respective speeches. Show of hands how many people believe that they’d be declaring it a “tie” if McCain had pulled in just slightly less than Obama?
Yeah, I didn’t think I’d see any hands raised 
Ok, now back to relaxing on a Saturday

Drudge had a link up earlier about Palin exceeding Obamba’s numbers. Apparently the first reports of viewer numbers didn’t include PBS, when you add that, she got more eyeballs than The Messiah.
I just saw Obama on the news at some event either today or yesterday, he sounded more than a tad desperate. He didn’t sound calm and collected, more like he was thrashing.
Made me smile.

Say, I though Barry was able to stop hurricanes? He didn’t do such a good job with Hanna. I guess he was too depressed about losing the tv war.

No, no, he doesn’t stop hurricanes. He calls them up to make Republicans look bad.
