Apparently I wasn’t the only person determined to show Rudy Guliani and Sarah Palin what community organizing entails. An Obama aid tells HuffPost’s Nico Pitney that the campaign has raised $8 million since last night’s speech.

Not surprising that 37 million people tuned in to see the spectacle. (Wonder what the cross-section is on people who watched both.) More from The Hollywood Reporter:

Cable news network estimates show Fox News is out in front with 9.2 million viewers (from 10 to 11:15 p.m.), followed by CNN with 6.2 million and MSNBC with 3.4 million. Note CNN won last week when the Democrats were on stage, and Fox News has been taking the lead now that the Republicans are having their turn. CNN and Fox News also bested the broadcasters in the adult demo. From 10 to 11 p.m., NBC had 7.7 million, CBS had 4.9 million and ABC had 5.9 million.
