1. This is no surprise. The Repub "faithful" know where to go for their Kool

Aid, where it's served up fresh and unadulterated!

2. In general, I don't think there were that many people watching

this convention

3. 5.2 million, big deal!

that's less than 5% of the electorate. the same 5 mil who tune in to .limbaugh daily (yes, 5 mil, that 20 mil number is a cumulative average and is misleading)

this only happened because all the wingnuts tuned in to the same station. the average voters are still evenly distributed among the traditional sources

it's historic, but not as big a deal as drudge and co. would have you believe

4. PBS?

What about PBS? Weren't they bringing in 7 million viewers during the dem convention?
