Romney all of a sudden has no net tax cuts, likes most of Obamacare, makes the case for regulating busineses within a free market, and likes much of Dodd-Frank. Who knew?

That number doesn’t include the cable numbers Rich. FNC preliminary numbers are 10.4 million for that channel alone. Heard the 65,000,000 estimate number on the radio this morning and it is probably high. Looks like final numbers will be over 55,000,000 - not too shabby.

“More than 58 million people watched the first Presidential debate last night between President Obama and Mitt Romney, up substantially from the first debate in the 2008 election cycle, which had 52.4 million viewers.”

“A total of 67.2 million people watched the debate between President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, according to figures released late Thursday by the Nielsen Co. — a 28% increase over the 52.4 million who tuned in to the first debate in 2008.”
The total includes the major broadcast and cable networks as well as outlets such as Univision and PBS.
