As expected the Sarah Palin-Joe Biden Vice Presidential Debate was the Highest Rated V-P debate in History.
Early Nielsen ratings give the debate a 45 rating, but that is expected to be slightly higher when all of the numbers are in.
That is the highest rated debate of any kind since 1992 when Bill Clinton, George Bush and Ross Perot met on the same stage. That debate received a 46.3 rating, which means over 46 percent of homes with TVs watched.
When the final numbers come in, last night's debate may surpass the 1992 debate.
Last week's debate between John McCain and Barack Obama only got a 31.6 rating. The V-P debate attracted 46% more viewing households.
1984 was the previously highest rated V-P debate between George Bush and Geraldine Ferraro. It had a 43.6 rating.
The last Vice Presidential debate between Dick Cheney and John Edwards scored a 28.1 rating, which mean last night's debate was 60% higher.
Sarah Palin, love her or hate her, is a draw. She gets the biggest crowds on the campaign trail and now the highest ratings.
It is no wonder that the McCain campaign is making her the star of their new TV ad (see below).

"The most popular governor". Why would this matter when the whole lot of you are stupid, pointless Xtians?
You people are too stupid to be allowed to breathe.
There is no empirical evidence of this. It is a leap to a conclusion based on her approval rating in Alaska. This is no way can be translated into most popular governor. In any case, I agree with the above, it is a non-starter. It simply means nothing.
