I suspect it's people who actually remember when there was some drama to them, when there was some uncertainty about who might actually get the nomination, when they weren't just 3-4-day political lovefests / commercials touting the Official Party Line.
Such as … 65+-year-olds.
And, honestly, though I have fairly partisan beliefs, I have no desire to waste any of my life watching either of the conventions. I'd rather see them take all that money spent and donate it to a worthy charitable cause — indeed, that would make me feel inclined to vote for the party that did so.
And, that said: DUDE, GOOGLE, WTF WITH THE BAD BAR GRAPH VERTICAL SCALE?
Not only is the "26%" rendered as practically non-existent, but the horizontal lines seem utterly irrelevant to the actual values shown.
Very disappointing, Google.
UPDATE: Margie suggests that perhaps the graph is intended to include the bubble above it, so the horizontal lines represent 0-50% by 12.5% increments. In which case I submit that, rather than Fox News, Google's graphs are designed by USA Today, which is not a ringing endorsement, either.

With Wednesday full of speeches from top GOP members, and with all of the hype around Paul Ryan and Condoleezza Rice, we thought it would be interesting to see who was really watching the speeches last night.
Google Consumer Survey data (http://goo.gl/tCqAF) showed that younger age groups watched the speeches less than their older counterparts.
Did you tune in to watch the speeches last night?

Designers make pretty things, not always logical things. To be fair though, I'd say most people will only focus on the bubbles (as I did) and move on.
