DNC 2012

[MerryBlooms]

Opening night was superb... we kicked backside. Closing with The FLOTUS was brilliant- no phony script feel like with A. Romney... just from the heart and natural. My thanks to DWS for her planning skills. Our opening night flowed and was so well planned... the RNC can't even begin to compare in quality.

I suspect tonight will be equally fab! I know President Clinton isn't appreciated by all here, but that's ok. Even if you despise the man, I hope you can appreciate his public speaking talent.

I'm totally jazzed for tonight's coverage!!!!

1. K&R!

It's so nice turn on the teevee and hear lots of people saying lots of things I agree with!

2. I hope all goes well tonight. Some folks will be watching the football game ...

so IF tonight isn't as good as last night then maybe not as many folks will be watching.

Tomorrow should be awesome when President Obama gives his speech

3. I think we'll have a lot of channel flippers and the ratings will be great tonight. :D

Oh gosh, I am super excited for tomorrow night. We're doing take-out because I don't want to be watching and hopping from the kitchen to living room. lol

4. The TV ratings won't be accurate though. The convention is being live-streamed online ...

via several websites mostly in English but there is also a Spanish language stream too.

And a phone app too.

So, whatever numbers come out for TV viewership, those numbers won't be counting everyone that watches.

5. When you stream online... say Cspan, ABC, MSNBC, etc...

Are the numbers from online/tv combined for a total in viewership?

[Tx4obama]

6. I don't think so. And many of the live-streams for those networks ...

are on other websites that stream what is aired on the stations but don't connect to those stations' websites.

So, even if they tried to count the viewers online they wouldn't know the total numbers.

Here's an example of a link that streams MSNBC: http://blog.livenewschat.tv/rockinroosters/

See those type of streams wouldn't get counted and there are tons of those type of stream links.

7. Welp, I say screw it, and

so I'm gonna go with my numbers--

WE'RE GONNA KICK BACKSIDE
