Nielsen announced yesterday that Sarah Palin's speech drew 37 million viewers, just 1.1 million shy of Obama's numbers last week in Denver. McCain then topped Obama by 500,000 viewers with a speech that most people felt was bland. This is fantastic news for the Republicans, who have been struggling to find ways to get media attention. Clearly a big reason Palin was picked was her news value and it's paying off so far - she's been all over the headlines, and is newer on the national scene than Obama.
Nielsen's blog is fascinating, you should take a look.
