Who the Heck is Watching These Debates?

It's gotta be just me, right? And, Instapundit. And, Stephen Green. Insty and Stephen and me, and Allah. And, Ace. All of us sitting around, blogging and drinking Stephen's vodka to numb the pain of the Democrats' rhetorical idiocy.

We were drinking every time they mentioned a tax hike, but we quit that game after it sent Ace to the hospital with alcohol poisoning before the first commercial break.

Nnnnnyway, here's who is watching, according to Nielsen: Far fewer than even the lowest-rated sitcoms pulls, but still a couple million. A couple million of the nerdy proxy-voters cleverly recruited by sitcom-watchers to keep up with this stuff until a couple months before the election, so that they can just King-of-Queens it up while we're bored out of our skulls.

Sneaky guys those American voters. Here are the Top 3 rated debates so far:
