This week it’s the Republicans turn in the Twin Cities, but let’s look at the ratings results from Nielsen for all four days of last week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver. Day four of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday August 28, 2008 featured the acceptance speech by Presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and a celebration featuring a number of entertainers – and, of course, the week’s highest ratings.
