ST. PAUL, Minn. — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was a huge magnet for TV viewers, attracting nearly as many eyeballs as Sen. Barack Obama did on the last day of the Democratic convention, according to Nielsen, the audience-measurement agency.

Here’s a thumbnail provided by Nielsen:

The Sarah Palin speech generated 37.2 million viewers, just 1.1 million viewers short of Barack Obama’s record-breaking speech on Day 4 of the Democratic Convention. The Palin speech was carried on only six networks while the Obama speech was carried on ten (including BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo).

Palin attracted a large female audience (19.5 million women, or 4.9 million more than Day 3 of the Democratic Convention).

Ratings for viewers 55+ (25.2) continue to be about ten times higher than for teens (2.2)
Day 3 for the GOP attracted more Hispanic viewers (1.4 million) than Day 3 of the Democratic Convention (1.2 million), even though Univision and Telemundo did not carry the speech.

Basically, this is awesome! haha And as others pointed out, this speech got WAY better reviews (even by the drive bys) than OHB's speech, and it's the big talk on the cover of major newspapers and the morning talk shows. People who didn't see it, will definitely go watch it now.

... Univision and Telemundo did not carry the speech.

Question is, did they carry Biden's speech? If not there's an invalid comparison.
