That's only 1 million fewer than the number of people who watched Obama's speech. This is a good thing. That's 37 million people who saw a cynical, snarky, condescending woman who riled the base, caused a cheer of "Zero, Zero, Zero," got the menfolk out of their seats ready to drill here drill now, mocked community organizing and came across as harsh. I'm sure a lot of people loved it. They did need to rally those conservative types to the cause because they weren't buying McCain. I'm sure plenty more hated it.
I'm thinking backlash.
Obama's reaction.
