  1. Not clear why we didn’t get the ratings for Tuesday, the 17th. I will check on them.

    Got them resent. They are posted.

  2. Demonjoe

    Hannity’s ratings were amazing. It must have been that Sarah Palin interview.

  3. Tony

    The power of Palin!!!
    Critics and haters be damned.

  4. Rosie

    Sarah Palin’s interview.
    It was good. She is just a regular American.
    I think we need more like her in DC. This administration is
    a rash of deceiving, egomaniacs.

    That being the case, O’Reilly should get close to 6 millions tonight, his first of 3 nights featuring Palin.

  6. Nightstar

    AppleStinx:

    Interesting ratings line prediction… will be interesting to see if O’Reilly makes, exceeds, or falls below that mark with Palin’s appearance.

    :places a hovering gimlet eye on O’Reilly’s ratings:

  7. JC

    I told you guys Sarah Palin would boost the ratings. And tonight she’s on O’Reilly. Watch out!

  8. JC

    I would not be surprised if O’Reilly reaches 5 million tonight. Like I said before, love her or hate her, she’s a force to be reckoned with. The left would do well not to underestimate her.

  9. Adam

    I don’t think O’Reilly will break 6 million on Thursday’s Palin show. My guess is 4.9 – 5.1 million.

  10. GaryD7310

    O’Reilly is agains NFL Football tonight, but look out, he will get 4.5 or so.

  11. anonymous

    very smart of oreilly to stretch the palin interview 3 days

  12. Jfan

    I think O’Reilly will get 5.5

  13. anonymous

    anyone notice no bump for obama interview

  14. markd

    palin/oreilly —5x the olger. if that happens and all he’s got are cheap shots he’ll come across as a little yapping mutt,,,,,and make her a bigger star,,,,thaannnkkks keith

  15. Andy

    I don’t know why anyone watches MSNBC. All cheap shots at Sarah

  16. felixw

    Why would anyone watch O’Reilly talking to Sarah Palin, when they can hear Olbermann ranting about Sarah Palin instead.

  17. Tony

    One would have to watch over 4 hours of Olberdouche or over 5 hours of Maddcow to equal one hour of Hannity and Palin.
    I don’t think I would even subject Gitmo detainees to 4-5 hours of that kind of inhumane torture.

  18. Joey

    I see that Chris Matthews and Oberdone are back to the race card. Palin’s white crowd, her use of the word profiling, blah,blah,blah.
    Matthews should be so embarassed by his recent statements that he should disappear up Obama’s pant leg.
    I don’t think the liberals are worried about Sarah Palin running for president. I think they are worried that she is telling the American people the truth–and they are listening. They are scared that she is exposing the Obama big lie–just in time for the 2010 elections and beyond.

  19. Horace

    Judging by the numbers, BO and company are in deep doo doo, as his their lapdogs at MSNBC et al are dying, indicating a predominant mood of conservatism on the rise.

  20. geff

    go fox!!!
