Drawing 40 million viewers, Sarah Palin became the all time front runner for VP acceptance speeches. Nearly 16 million more than Joe Biden for example. But forget VP, her numbers were on par with the TV draw of The Celeb himself, Barack Obama.
And for a little larger perspective on the interest in this years' election, the audiences for the Obama and Palin speeches were bigger than the ones this year for the Academy Awards, the finale of "American Idol" or the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing.

Well I sure hope more people are paying attention to this than American Idol and the Olympics....for many (or most) this is our lives/freedom/economic future/daughter's freedom of choice/etc.
If I'm missing your point here - I do hope you will dumb-it-down for me too.
I say its about time that people sit up, pay attention and take part as opposed to sitting back, being spoon fed with horse shit that they take as truth because someone said it to them and being led by snippits of words.
I often wonder what the founders of our constitution would think if they saw the mockery of today's politics.
Dora -- exactly, it is good to know that people are paying more attention to this than American Idol. I agree with you entirely, the Founders would totally freak out to see what's happening today.
