The ratings are in and 37 million people watched Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin accept the GOP vice presidential nomination on Wednesday.

Was it just a week ago that the Democrats were crowing that 38 million people tuned in to see Barack Obama kick off his stadium tour? Almost as many people watched the GOP vice presidential nominee's speech.

And as for Joe Biden, Sarah Palin topped him by 5 million viewers. The numbers for McCain's Thursday speech aren't in yet.
