TiVo's official count of Republicans watching Olbermann: 0
Source: San Jose Mercury News

Republicans don't watch MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" and it would be a complete waste of time to advertise the Toyota Prius on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor."

This shocking news comes courtesy of TiVo, the San Jose pioneer maker of digital video recorders. Of course, we're being snarky (who, us?) about the shocking part, but TiVo says the information from its PowerWatch ratings service could be seriously useful to advertisers.

... The Power Watch service, though, includes anonymous data from 35,000 households that provided demographic information and volunteered to let TiVo track their television viewing second-by-second.

TiVo found absolutely no Republicans watching Olbermann in July, not even for one second, and positively no motorists who intend to buy an alternative-fuel vehicle within the next two years watching Bill O'Reilly.

2. Correction
No one who watches Olbermann would admit being a Republican.

3. Are there actually folks who identify as Republican any longer?
Most I know now say the are "Independent" Conservatives - that all those fools who fucked everything up weren't Republicans.

4. Some Republicans like to save money
And if you live in CA where gas is still touching $4 per gallon - its a wise investment

5. Weren't they DU'ers on here crying "racism" a few months ago because...
Mini-Cooper didn't want to spend advertising dollars marketing the mini in inner cities where they couldn't make any sales?
