Over the last couple of days I have begun to wonder if Senator McCain might be hurt by viewer fatigue.

I don’t mean to ask this question in a partisan sense but rather in a more general sense. If you think about it we have had over a month worth of ‘events’ for the average viewer to deal with. First a couple weeks of the Olympics, then the Democratic convention and now the Republican one.

In addition there have been a series of smaller events from the controversies over the Olympics being in China before the games to Gustav last week. All of these events have come one after the other.

To top that off we have the start of school occupying the minds of many families with children, the approach of Hurricane Hanna distracting the Southeastern US and the start of the American Football season.

Adding all this up leads me to wonder if tonight we might see more viewers than McCain would like tune out. Not because they have any issue with him or the GOP but just because they are worn out by the continual flow recently of ‘got to see it events’.
