This report suggests that McCain may have unbelievably attracted more viewers for his acceptance speech than Obama did the week before. I didn’t even expect McCain to beat Palin’s huge numbers, but if this bears out, it’s amazing and contradicts all expectations.
One thing to keep in mind is that, in addition to McCain benefitting from an NFL lead-in, the numbers here may not be complete. As this story about Palin’s rating explains, the Neilsens are primarily interested in the commercial broadcast networks, and another several million viewers who watched via PBS and smaller cable networks may not be included in early reports.
Still, it’s shocking.
