See this article<br /><br />http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/31/aug-31-tv-ratings-may-be-leading-indicator-of-convention-bounce/<br /><br />in which a Nielson rating over 20% seems to be a leading indicator of a bounce. I'm not sure how they calculate the percentage. Obama had about 7% more viewers four years ago and still didn't quite make 20%, while McCain had about 25% more viewers four years ago than Romney this time. But the point is he got a lot more exposure than Romney so that could lead to a bump.<br /><br />Also really loved this article on Obama's "disappointing speech"<br /><br />http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/09/on-obamas-disappointing-dnc-speech/262130/<br /><br />And I love that Michelle Obama song you have linked over there on the top right! Also, too, the 3-pointer! Sweet!<br /><br />Nice work on your blog!Mikerayinberkeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679746314470443830noreply@blogger.com
