John McCain so happy he is grinning like he is auditioning for a toothpaste commercial.

The sudden popularity of Sarah Palin is having an impact on the election. While, Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, still leads in the Gallup polls, rival John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, drew more viewers than he and Biden, for their national convention speeches.

Are you teasing George Bush (LOL)

Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican convention drew as many viewers as Obama's at the DNC, while McCain's surpassed both by 500,000 viewers.

McCain beats Obama by 500,000

The Republican nominee beat Democratic challenger Barack Obama's record-setting convention speech viewership by 500,000.

McCain's address at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night was seen by about 38.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. Obama received 38.4 million.

That means McCain's speech is now the most-watched in convention history -- 41% higher than President Bush's acceptance speech four years ago, and 1% higher than Obama's address last week.
