BREAKING: TV Ratings for Wed RNC down 17 million from 2008!

by Drdemocrat

Not only was Ryan's speech a LIEfest but it wasn't viewed by as many people as viewed Palin's speech in 2008. Matter of fact, the TV viewership for Wednesday's presentation was down 17 million from 2008 when Palin was the Vice President.

Ouch!

The TV ratings are in for Wednesday RNC and the ratings are a dud.

RNC Ratings Night Two: Networks Lose 17 Million Viewers Compared To Night Two Of 2008 RNC

In fact is Wednesday had about 20 million viewers (most likely Republicans) which was similar to Tuesday's viewership but far below the 37 million viewers for Palin.

All told, just over 20 million people were watching last night on the Nielsen-rated networks, compared to 37 million for night two of the RNC in 2008. Night one of the 2012 RNC was roughly on par with night one of the 2008 RNC ratings-wise, making the gap all the more dramatic.

1. I Was Waiting For The Numbers

In 2008, I hosted a viewing of Palin speech at my home with my Obama team.

Last night - Video On Demand is the choice until this nightmare is over.

After Palin speech in 08 everyone @ work was talking about her the next day, today NO ONE was talking aboput Ryan. That say's a lot seeing that I live in OKlahoma. I asked my hubby if anyone was talking about Ryan at his job he said nope & he works at a plant full of Neocons...

2. Ryan is underperforming the worst VP candidate in American History.

Ryan is a complete and total dud.

The only people that watched him were Republicans and even they didn't like him as much as Palin.

Pathetic.
