More interesting numbers. Dems need to keep momentum and pick the right VP combo. You have to wonder who those 10-11% Gore votes will go to if he doesn't run (and I don't think he will).
Here’s an interesting comparison of the Democratic and Republican debates. From
Media Bistro, the number of viewers:
CNN's Democratic debate averaged 2,783,000 million total viewers on Sunday night--"more than any other presidential debate of this election season," the network notes.
On the other hand, CNN's Republican debate two nights later averaged a scant 1,974,000 million viewers--a deficit of 809,000 viewers. The Democratic debate was viewed by almost
40% more people.
But it's not just the debates. In the first quarter of the fiscal year, Democratic presidential campaigns raised about
$78 million, compared with just over
$51 million by their Republican rivals. Senate Democrats have
raised twice as much money this year as Senate Republicans.
