Can’t wait to see how the libbies spin this one (especially if they click on the hyperlink of the RNC coverage.)
Less people, period, are watching the democrat clown show. Gee, I wonder why?
Wackjob libs drawn to the wackjob lib channel.
See. The liberals know where to get their liberal views validated: NBC, MSNBC, and CNN.
Brian Williams, Chuck Todd, David Gregory and Tom Brokaw providing the left what it wants.
NBC, National Bullcrap Company.
there is no need to spin it, 21 million people watched the DNC compared to 20 million people who watched the RNC sure its only a million but hey you started it ^_^
lol you tbags aren’t too good at math are you?
try adding all total viewers 10pm-11pm
21 918 745 ppl watched the DNC convention
20 572 670 ppl watched the tbag convention
in the demo 25-54
7 479 192 ppl watched the DNC vs 6 088 833 for the RNC
now answer the right question
Less people, period, are watching the republican clown show. Gee, I wonder why?
don’t get dizzy spinning
Have you seen Fox’s coverage of both conventions?
Wow, they stunk up the airwaves.
lol…
Righties are stupid….
Fux Newz – we repeat stupid so Gordon Bloyer has something to say.
20,000,000+ viewers watched on “MSM” – vs. Boo Hoo FoKKKs 2.3mm – Teabaggers.
Lyin Ryan and Mitt the Twitt better create a new lie soon!
Face it you’re a cult of liars, hate and fear. Nuzis. You do not represent America – you represent the worst of Germany in the 30s – and you allow the Taliban Teabaggers to run your party for the Corporate Citizen. Real Republicans – you do not represent. Conservatives you do not represent – you represent what happens when a cult goes to far in an open democratic society – with the use of 24/7 propaganda.
21 million people watched Michelle Obama vs. Ann Romney. If the numbers are correct, that’s just 1,000,0000 difference. Those are not good odds.
Well, tonight, NBC’s going to have a Republican on for three hours speaking (Al Michaels), and they’re going to quintuple their ratings…
Not good odds for whom?
That enthusiasm gap doesn’t seem quite as great for the Democrats.
MSNBC finished higher than CNN or Fox for the first time in convention coverage, ever.
I suspect this has as much to do with Fox News viewers just not wanting to view coverage of the Democratic National Convention as anything else. But CNN has to look at those numbers in some dismay.
So does that mean we can’t be friends. Hey, sing along with me, Romney Ryan in 2012, let’s put obama on the shelf. LOUDER. Romney Ryan 54-46, can you say president Romney, try it.
Crying a river as usual, Bloyer.

Hard to draw many conclusions other than fewer are watching than 2008.
However it is safe to say that MSDNC has a corner on the more partisan D’s as an audience.
Given there are more D’s and greater “youth” involvement, you would expect higher demo and overall numbers. Again, I wonder how many I’s and less motivated D’s have just skipped the convention.
