Matt Marolis says that 37.2 million people watched Gov. Palin's acceptance speech. 

Obama?  38.3 million.

Update (CB): This is another reason to watch McCain's speech tonight. The main reason? McCain is energized and I think his speech may bring on more enthusiasm for his candidacy.

Oh, and I guess we could have a drinking game for each time he says "my friends."

Update (DPUD): CB sends me these too,

First, McCain now tied with Obama, he was down eight last week in the same poll.  Wonder what happened...

Second, Palin's acceptance speech pulled in about 1.1 million less than Obama's, and was only shown in six networks to Obama's ten. 

Weasel in comments notes the power outages in the Gulf Coast due to Gustav taking down lines would have caused a significant drop in potential viewers too.
