  110. 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.

    Comment by Holdingontomywallet Thursday, Oct 4, 12 @ 1:42 pm

  111. “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.”
