Balance of Time
CNN showed a clock with each candidate’s talking time during the first presidential debate on Wednesday. By the time moderate Jim Lehrer moved to the closing statements, President Barack Obama had spoken for more than four minutes longer than GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
By the end of the debate, Obama had spoken for nearly 43 minutes and Romney had spoken for 38 and a half minutes, according to CNN’s clock.

Great service, I thought that Obama would take more that his fair share of time. Nearly 20% more time. Fortunately, he was so inarticulate it didn’t make any difference.
