Almost 70 MILLION viewers watched the Biden and Palin debate – and I don’t think they were tuning in for Biden

UPDATED: Thursday’s highly anticipated face-off between Alaska governor Sarah Palin and Delaware senator Joe Biden was the most-watched vp debate of all time.

Last night’s event was seen by 69.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.

That’s the most-viewed debate — presidential or vp — since the second round between Bill Clinton, Ross Perot and George Bush in 1992 (which also drew an audience of 69.9 million).
