Obama-mercial was ratings hit

Barack Obama may or may not have swayed many undecided voters with his 30-minute campaign infomercial Wednesday night, which included an endorsement from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. But the program was a ratings hit, exceeding the combined regular ratings of all the network shows that normally run during that time period. The Hollywood Reporter joked: “If Barack Obama fails to win the election, perhaps the networks should hire him to entertain viewers on Wednesday nights.”
