McCain Tops Obama In TV Ratings!

 TV Week has the details…

Presidential candidate John McCain’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention drew more television viewers than his rival Barack Obama attracted at the Democratic party’s event last week, according to preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research.

Across all broadcast networks Thursday, Sen. McCain’s speech ended the night with a 4.8 rating/7 share, compared to Sen. Obama’s 4.3/7 average, according to overnight numbers from metered households in 55 U.S. markets measured by Nielsen. These ratings are preliminary, however, and are subject to change.

Considering the high expectations of the MSM, the Obama campaign must be stunned this morning. Especially with the fact that the NFL kickoff opener was running virtually at the same time as the RNC convention, with two major market teams (Washington and New York) taking to the field.
