Democrats Score 40% More Viewers than Republicans

Here’s an interesting comparison of the Democratic and Republican debates. From Media Bistro, the number of viewers:

"CNN's Democratic debate averaged 2,783,000 million total viewers on Sunday night--"more than any other presidential debate of this election season," the network notes."

On the other hand, CNN's Republican debate two nights later averaged a scant 1,974,000 million viewers--a deficit of 809,000 viewers. The Democratic debate was viewed by almost 40% more people.

3. Hey, I did not watch....I don't care.

It just does not matter to me. I just posted it.

The new spin now is that the Dems got beat out by sports...

Not a word about the Republicans.

Everyone I know watches the Sopranos on Sunday night.

So I just don't care.

4. If everyone watched debates on public policy instead of enter/infotainment...

We would be a better country.

5. Then I am not a good person because I hate debates.

I think words are becoming meaningless.

6. The question is will the votes be counted?.............cause that is where the problem

is....apparently! Cause I would believe that no one would take the trouble to watch debates, but then not votes.
