That's a Helluva Lot of Viewers

While the media goes bananas over the McCain interesting selection of a VP candidate, I thought it worth noting that a whole lot of people watched Obama's speech last night:

Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention was seen by more than 38 million people.

Nielsen Media Research said more people watched Obama speak than watched the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing, the final "American Idol" or the Academy Awards this year. Obama talked before a live audience of 80,000 people in Denver.

His TV audience nearly doubled the amount of people who watched John Kerry accept the Democratic nomination to run against President Bush four years ago. Kerry's speech was seen by just over 20 million people.

Obama's audience might be higher, since Nielsen didn't have an estimate for how many people watched Obama on PBS or C-SPAN Thursday night.

Given the near universal acclaim for the speech, I think it'll have a big impact on the race. I just wonder how big an impact it will have after John McCain, a former prisoner of war, announced that a woman that nobody really heard of (not you Damo, I know mentioned it a while ago) will be his running mate.

It's creepy. I think he has somebody stalking me.
 
I had a gut feeling she would be, too. She is just what he needs, fresh, young, woman!
