Palin's speech before the Republican convention on Wednesday, September 3rd was watched by over 40 million people.  She had as many people turn in to see her as watched Obama's acceptance speech on the final day of the Democratic convention.  Palin has also been attacked by the press on a level not seen since [[Dan Quayle]], although she ultimately handled it much better.
