10/30/08: Obama big hit live and on TV, while McCain buses in schoolkids for rally!

Obama's half-hour TV spots last night were watched by 26.3 million people last night (30 million including the Spanish Univision)- handily beating out the regular programming which would been seen by ~23 million! In case you missed it last night, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtREqAmLsoA
UPDATE: 33 million watched the Obamaercial, according to Nielsen. Rasmussen says 55% of voters watched at least some of it!
Obama was also interviewed by Chares Gibson on ABC, AND later appeared on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart - see it here if you missed it - Obama gave the Daily Show its biggest audience ever, with 3.6 million viewers, 600,000 more than the last record set on Oct 8, when the guest was - Michelle Obama!! Obama totally dominates the airwaves! AND if you have MSNBC on your cable, don't miss Obama tonight at 8pm on the brand-new hit show hosted by Rachel Maddow! It should be fun!
Finally last night, Bill Clinton appeared on stage with Obama in Kissimee, FL, for the first time since the convention - he gave a terrific warmup speech and Obama took it from there - there was good energy between the two. Obama pointed to enthusiasm he's encountering in Florida by noting the crowd of 40,000 people who showed up for the midnight rally!

Meanwhile McCain buses in school kids to fill his rally! They actually had to bus in school kids from the surrounding area in order to fill the rally in Defiance, Ohio. A local school district official confirmed after the event that of the 6,000 people estimated by the fire marshal to be in attendance this morning, more than 4,000 were bused in from schools in the area.
What's more, when Sen. John McCain called out for his new buddy Joe the Plumber to stand up, there was only confused silence. Even Joe the Plumber wasn't there.
