After days of intense media coverage about Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s qualifications, more than 40 million Americans tuned in Wednesday to see for themselves what they thought of her.
The huge audience for Palin’s acceptance speech rivaled that for Obama’s address at the Democratic National Convention six days earlier, and set a tough standard for the top of her own ticket. John McCain was to accept the GOP presidential nomination on Thursday.
The first two days of the GOP convention essentially

An audience of 37.2 million people watched Palin on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, Nielsen Media Research said Thursday. PBS estimated its audience at 3.9 million, based on a less reliable sample of several big cities. Nielsen does not count the audience for C-SPAN, which also showed the speech.
Last week, Nielsen said 38.4 million people watched Obama speak at a Denver stadium on the six commercial networks, along with BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo – four networks that didn’t cover Palin’s speech. PBS added an estimated 4 million to that total.

“If you are betting McCain will not be in that limo at 3 a.m., WhatChange, who are you saying will be? You need to be more specific in your ridiculous allegations. Give us a name, svp.” CO
Hussein Obama comes to mind, he’s been there, done that.
Something I just noticed: Senator Obama frequently says: “I just want to be honest with you” or “that facts are”.
I was always taught (and it is very true) that if somene says they are “going to honest with you” they have been lying in the past or are going to lie to you now.
When they say the “facts are”, the next thing out of their mouth is probably not a fact, but a lie, distortion, or half-truth.
It’s a character flaw that most people overlook or miss. Those possessing the character flaw say it so many times, they cannot resist saying it.
Watch for it. Just saw a clip on Fox with the interview with Bill O’reilly and the first thing out of Senator Obama’s mouth was: “I just want to be honest with you.” Why now? Why weren’t you honest with me before?
A-10, that dovetails with one of my favorite questions that all politicians should be asked whenever they flip-flop in a fairly short period of time (as Obama did on a divided Jerusalem within one day):
“Senator, when you said “A” yesterday and “B” today, on which occasion were you lying?”
