Talking Points

I have yet to run any numbers myself, but someone commented to the WaPo that the calcs for CNN/YouTube thing were as follows;

# of Times# of WordsWords ÷ Times
Obama142050146
Clinton121794150
Edwards121661138
Biden71019146
Richardson7910130
Dodd81645206
Kucinich7985141
Gravel758083


Considering that each opportunity to speak was timed, it may be possible to extrapolate the number of minutes, but I don't have that data at this time and only have a commenter's submission at my fingertips. If anyone has any better numbers, similar information about previous debates from either party or a link which can be referenced, please post them to comments for reference.

Otherwise and if nothing else, I'll run the archives of the previous debates and try to get some kind of counts for each, sometime over the next few days.
