DNC Concern?

        Now that these past two weeks of National Conventions have come to a close, analysis, accusations and projections will surface before the November elections begin. I happened to watch President Obama's speech on the last day of the Democratic National Convention, but the view count as a whole decreased from the view count of 2008. A 2.7 million view decrease in fact.

       There are many possibilities as to why the view count decreased on the final day of the convention. Some of my ideas as to why the viewers tuned out are on opposite ends of the spectrum: Assurance of presidential re-election or a sign of hopelessness. 

       Both ideas have rationale. On the side of hopelessness, President Obama failed to come through on some campaign promises, like closing Guantanamo Bay, creating a foreclosure prevention fund for homeowners and repeal the Bush tax cuts for incomes > $250,000. In regards to potential confidence, President Obama succeeded in providing more opportunities to small businesses, began pulling brigades out of Iraq and ended the use of torture.

       It will be truly interesting to see what the decrease in views of the President's speech pans out to mean come election time. Do you have an opinion on what the decrease of views may be because of? Let me know in the comment section below!
