If anyone is interested in the Nielsen ratings for the RNC tonight: 14.2 million

How many did the DNC have on day two? 18.5 million

How many did the RNC have on day two in 2004? 14.8 million

Enthusiasm gap?

I was wondering where these numbers came from so early. Do you have a source?

I do: link

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's highly anticipated speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night nearly matched the record-setting numbers of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Palin pulled in 37.2 million viewers across broadcast and cable networks, according to Nielsen Media Research.

That's 55% higher than Day 3 of the DNC, when her Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden, and President Clinton took the stage (24 million).

It's also up a sharp 99% from the Republican convention's third day in 2004 (18.7 million). In fact, it came close to upsetting Obama's historic address on Thursday -- the most-watched convention speech in history (38.4 million viewers).

Palin's viewership is up 73% from Tuesday's RNC tally, when 21.5 million tuned in to see President Bush and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman endorse nominee John McCain.

EDIT: better link

More than 37.2 million people tuned in for coverage of the third night of the 2008 Republican National Convention, which featured Sarah Palin?s much anticipated national debut.

Wednesday night?s RNC broadcasts attracted just a 1.1 million fewer viewers than Barack Obama?s record-breaking speech on day four of the Democratic convention.

Coverage of day three of the GOP convention drew a large female audience (19.5 million) ? 5.2 million more women than tuned in for day two of the Democratic convention, when Hillary Clinton addressed the delegates, and 6.9 million more women than watched Joe Biden accept the Democrats? vice presidential nomination last Wednesday night.

Viewers age 55 and older also continued to dominate the RNC?s TV audience, with 25.2% of all Americans in that age group ? 17.9 million people ? watching Wednesday night?s coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX News Channel, and MSNBC.

I already carried that to the new thread for the next time he shows up; but we already know his hack self doesn't actually read the port in the threads and just post his current moveon blog material.
