Who will win the late-night ratings race for 2009: Letterman or O'Brien?

Settled as David Letterman

Background: Between July 1, 2009, and December 31, 2009, which of the two "biggies" will be declared the winner of the ratings race in their time slot: David Letterman or Conan O'Brien?

Sorry... other hosts in the same time slot are not considered in this question.

Now, how to determine the winner! It is my intent to begin and end the question according to the above dates, ignoring the partial month of June, but will accept the verdict of the HubDub gurus.

The question will be considered settled when the appropriate authorities who release such details publish their findings probably early in January, 2010, or as otherwise determined by HubDub authorities.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source and/or TV ratings system.
