sorry if this makes me sound like a bitch, but it makes perfect sense that mccain would have more viewers. I feel as though mccain got a higher rating because obviously the republicans were excited to hear him speak, but democrats, such as myself, watched obama and mccain because lets be honest, i wanted to hear what the dinosaur was going to say. Most republicans that ive spoken to (not all, dont get me wrong) want absolutely nothing to do with obama. I asked a lot of them if they were going to watch his acceptance speech, and i pretty much got the "id rather eat dirt" response from all of them. On the other hand when i asked the democratic half of my friends, they said they were definitely going to watch both acceptance speeches just to see what everyone had to say. So yes i just rambled, but all in all, it makes sense to me. Democrats are open to things, Republicans, not so much.
big ups to katie on trying to look normal though
