And Weds we did better with the NFL game.

So really, IMO, our numbers are actually even better than reported.

Neat.

I hope they'll share what they saw in other ways. And if the feeds hrough Youtube are within those numbers. Of course, Politico, like all the others, will give a negative spin. If those translate to votes, it's great news.

Romney is the only politician I have ever seen get upstaged by a chair. No one remembers Romney's speech. That is probably a good thing though, because he let his hood slip again.

Elizabeth Warren was fantastic and Clinton gave a good economic speech regardless of how many watched them vs. other things in a media propaganda war.

Simply to avoid the talking horse's asses blabbing over the speeches or missing some speeches all together?
