Hillary Clinton Delivers Most-Watched "Meet The Press" In Almost Three Years

Hillary Clinton brought a ratings bonanza this "Meet the Press" this week, delivering an audience of 4.71 million viewers to the network � it's largest audience for a regularly-scheduled prgram since January 30, 2005 (excluding the MTP in February, 2006 during the Torino Olympics).

3. If you have cable, it's hard to MISS it

MSNBC, CNBC all re-air MTP throughout Sunday. I TRIED not to see any of it but was bombarded by GE.

Meanwhile, John Kerry did a great job on Stephanopoulos talking up Obama, but how many saw that, I wonder ...

9. That's an illogical explanation, given that 1. it's the same for everyone

and 2. it was a playoff Sunday. But, I guess, when it comes to Clinton, no inch can be given.:-)

10. Both John Kerry and silent movies are quaint, but it's a struggle to find time for either.

14. It was. She is much easier to listen to than Kerry, with all due respect to the latter.

6. I think many like to hear the candidates words--not filtered through a talking head.

21. Right now, if I had to choose....

it would be in this order: Clinton, Edwards, Obama. I really am proud of our choices this year. Just the fact that it is hard to choose says a lot!! Thanks for the help though. I will do that if I need some info.

18. Wow,

she was great, and 4.71 million viewers saw that! They also saw Timmy's underhanded tactics. :-)

20. It's always been my contention that.....

there is so much interest in this election because of Hillary. Otherwise it's the men fighting it out as usual.

26. I had to stop after 15 mn. Incredible how she was unable to watch either the camera or Tim Russert.

Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 08:39 PM by Mass

Her eyes were watching something on the lower left side of the screen. Very disturbing!

But I am sure her supporters loved it.
