Can I just say...

...that I think it's really great that both McCain's speech and Obama's speech (and, for that matter, Palin's speech) had larger TV viewing audiences than the Academy Awards, the American Idol finale, or the Olympics opening ceremonies? I don't really care about the partisan ratings battle (which McCain won); I'm just happy that, for once, Americans are paying this much attention to something that, y'know, actually matters. It's actually kind of inspiring. I know, that's corny, but whatever. U-S-A! U-S-A!
