Oops

Poor Kos got caught counting his chickens:

We now have an even clearer picture of the ratings for Tuesday, and they look pretty bad for the GOP -- especially when compared to last Tuesday at the DNC:

O.K. So that is the measure, comparing night for night.

So how did Palin do last night compared to Biden?

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's highly anticipated speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night nearly matched the record-setting numbers of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Palin pulled in 37.2 million viewers across broadcast and cable networks, according to Nielsen Media Research.

That's 55% higher than Day 3 of the DNC, when her Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden, and President Clinton took the stage (24 million).


Hmm...so let's see: Almost 26 million people watched night two of the Democrats, compared to only 24 million for the actual Democratic VP nominee. That's a drop of 8% from the night Hillary spoke.

Meanwhile the GOP increased over the same time period 99%.

I guess it would be fair to say no one wanted to watch tired old Joe Biden.
