So would be reasonable President Obama's numbers would be lower as more people watched his speech live. Where as, people (like me) who didn't catch all the other speeches watched them on line.

I was so inspired by so many of the other speeches, I compiled a list of links so others could easily access them and posted it on DU. Here's the link for those that have not had a chance yet to watch all the speeches.

obama had way more watching him than romney and he still has more watching video than romney which would be consistent. biden and obama were the only two oi saw on tv. the rest i had to see their video.

people had to figure what was up with eastwood. that is funny. and count all the lies for ryan.

I specifically turned on the TV to watch his speech and Bill Clinton's. I love Michelle, but I watcher her speech and others on the other nights, on the computer. I sat at the TV for the main speech on Thursday.

In fact, I'd bet 90% were hard-core Dems, looking for a laugh
