Sarah Palin’s ratings last night were HUGE! Sarah Palin’s ratings for her RNC Convention speech were higher than Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and, often Barack Obama, says new ratings reports.

Huge numbers are coming in today less than 24 hours after Sarah Palin’s RNC speech that featured adorable moments with Piper Palin and Tig Palin, appearances by Britsol Palin and boyfriend Levi, and more. TV Week says Palin pulled a 5.4 rating/8 share on NBC with fellow speakers.

How high is that? For this year, Palin and Co. were “higher than any other night of the convention on the broadcast networks, including Sen. Obama’s nomination acceptance speech on Aug. 28.” The ratings reportedly are subject to change.

And who had the most online coverage of both the DNC and RNC Conventions? LALATE!

PICTURE! Here’s a photo of Cindy McCain’s yellow RNC Convention dress. Who do you prefer - Cindy McCain’s yellow dress or Michelle Obama’s blue DNC number?

Days ago, LALATE brought you details about Micelle Obama’s dress, the designer, the preparations. (In fact, that was a very popular story on LALATE.) Those LALATE details came directly from the female local designer herself, even explaining the creative process.

Today, Vanity Fair runs details about what Cindy McCain’s yellow number cost but with no verification of these details from McCain’s camp. Vanity Fair says McCain wore Oscar de la Renta.

Here is what the magazine believes was the breakdown.

“Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100″

Depsite whether Vanity is correct or not, who did you prefer? … talking fashion, not politics of course. How about that yellow collar?

VIDEO! Watch video of Rudy Giuliani’s DNC Convention Speech tonight. Rudy Giuliani DNC speech included the following excerpts:

“John has been tested. Barack Obama has not…. Tough times require strong leadership, and this is no time for on-the-job training.”

Rudy said of Sarah Palin “She’s already had more executive experience than the entire Democratic ticket combined. I’m sorry that Barack Obama feels that her hometown isn’t cosmopolitan enough. … Maybe they cling to religion there.”
