Barack Obama's campaign significantly cut back on Web display and search advertising in August, while rival John McCain's stepped on the gas, according to the latest stats from Nielsen. More interesting: they're pursuing vastly different ad strategies. While the Obama campaign bought nearly four times as many online display ads as McCain in August, McCain is outbuying Obama 22 to 1 in search ads....

THE 2007-08 TV season was not the best of times for broadcasters. No wonder they're looking for a do-over. Nielsen ratings, already on a downward trend that's been blamed on everything from a sharp rise in the use of DVRs to increased competition from cable, took a hit from a bitter, extended writers strike.

NO ROMAN style stage and an indoor arena rather than a stadium. It's still the right formula for a convention: The GOP presidential candidate attracted roughly the same number of viewers to his convention acceptance speech Thursday as Obama did before the Democrats last week, according to Nielsen Media Research. It marked the end of an astonishing run where more than 40 million people watched political...

Last week it was reported that Barack Obama’s acceptance speech was the most-watched convention speech ever, with 38.4 million viewers. Then, six days later, the Republican vice presidential nominee came within an inch of his record total.

The fact is, they were even. From Breitbart: Nielsen said that 38.9 million people watched McCain accept the GOP nomination Thursday on either ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel or MSNBC.

I guess I assumed that this would mean the Democratic National Convention would get a lot more eyeballs watching it than the Republican National Convention would--especially given that Barack Obama has charisma and star power and John McCain really doesn't.
