John McCain outdrew Barack Obama in the television viewing audiences watching their presidential nomination acceptance speeches.
McCain drew 38.9 million viewers for his speech last night in St. Paul, according to Nielsen. That was a half-million more viewers than Obama drew for his speech in Denver.
Fortunately for McCain, he also outdrew his own running mate, who had drawn an extraordinary audience in her own right with her convention speech this week, 37 million.
McCain drew more men than Obama did. The senior senator from Arizona drew an audience of 17.9 million men, Nielsen reports today, and 19.2 million women.
Obama drew a larger female audience for his speech — 19.9 million women and 16.2 million men.
More white viewers were watching McCain than Obama, too: 32.2 million for McCain and 27 million for Obama. More black viewers watched Obama — 7.5 million to 3.1 million,.
What everyone thought about the two speeches, however, is beyond Nielsen’s “pay grade.”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Not suprising since 60% of Americans consider themselves “Conservative”
