I watched Obama’s speech last night, but it certainly wasn’t because I support him. The Obama campaign got their message out to me, but I don’t think they would consider that to be a net positive.

Of course, any given nomination acceptance speech will be viewed by supporters, opponents and those in between. The bottom line is more viewers is better, as it increases the odds that someone changed their mind or was otherwise influenced. Of course, I am hardly suggesting that viewership equals votes/support.

If the country-club/equestrian set who run the homeowners association where I live (I’m just an interloper among them) would reschedule a board meeting in order to allow people to watch Obama’s speech, something amazing is going on, indeed.
