Equal Time? Full Rundown of How Long Each Candidate Was Allowed To Speak

[Paulitician]

Ohh... I like numbers. Why didn't you do percentage?

Rudy Giuliani 14%
Mitt Romney 12%
John McCain 10%
Fred Thompson 9%
Mike Huckabee 8%
Ron Paul 6%
Hunter 4%
Tom Tancredo 3%

That's how much time each of them took from the debate. The rest 44% was on questions, Anderson and some such. If we just concentrate on the 80 minutes of talking time for the candidates the percentages are thus:

Rudy Giuliani 21%
Mitt Romney 18%
John McCain 15%
Fred Thompson 14%
Mike Huckabee 13%
Ron Paul 9%
Hunter 6%
Tom Tancredo 5%

[I had to round the way I saw fit, that's why when you add these percentages you get 101]

EDIT: for equal time everybody would have to had Mike Huckabee's time, 9:30.

I just didn't think to include it I like though, %'s put the whole fiasco into even more perspective. Cheers.

I wonder why RP was the only one who got a really hardball question such as the one concerning about the CFR/SPP which the people in Texas truly have fought to delay the international highway. I really believe the question should have been ask to every candidate, as in do you support the North American Union? Then of course we'd see al the candidates lie to us besides RP.

This is my first post here, but have been lurking for months. I hope it is helpful.

Wow. All I can say is that you de-lurked with style. Very nice post.

Thank you for taking the time to do that. I have been spreading it around to other political forums that have been discussing the debate.
