5. It would be more impressive if you knew the number of people who watched his acceptance speech

I did a search on youtube for "mitt romeny RNC" and a couple of different videos of the speach came up. One with approximatley 355,000, another with 477,000, and a third with 286,000 views. So, unless I'm missing something, that is a total of about 1,000,000 views for his acceptance speech versus 3,000,000 views for his 47% video - or about 3x the number of people saw the 47% video online as did see his RNC acceptance speech.

.... and the republicans die-hards still claim that the only reason Romney is lagging in the polls is because of an oversampling of democrats. Maybe it has somehting to do with their candidate?
