How Many Millions of People Will watch Tonight? Will it Break 100 Million?

Think it will beat Carter/Reagan?

I bet it does.

1. Well, the first presidential debate was only around ~50 million and I don't know why more people

didn't see it.

Maybe this debate between the VP picks will be higher rated and thus the later presidential debates will also get higher ratings-- I'm thinking that the more people watch Barack speak, the more they'll like him so a bigger audience is always better for us. :)

Besides, what was the audience for Carter/Reagan? I don't know the number so I'd like to know. Thanks!

2. This is only a VP debate and the baseball playoffs are on

I know there's a lot of interest in Palin but beating past presidential debates?.....I doubt it.

3. I think it will break 100 million

The first debate was on a Friday night and many voters either have already made up their minds or already know where the candidates stand. Tonight is being billed as almost theatre-like. People that couldn't care less about politics are going to watch just to see what happens.

4. The last episode of "Seinfeld" had 76 million viewers.

I'm thinking it'll be equal to or less than that.
