Debate!
It looks like I may get to go to the Democratic presidential debate in Detroit this Sunday. The Congressional Black Caucus and Fox News were much more scrupulous than was CNN in getting the candidates equal time when they sponsored an earlier debate in Baltimore, and the CBC and Fox will be doing this debate as well. At the CNN debate in Arizona earlier this month, here's the amount of time each candidate was able to speak:
  1. Howard Dean - 14 minutes, 7 seconds.
  2. John Kerry - 12 minutes, 31 seconds.
  3. Wesley Clark - 10 minutes, 36 seconds.
  4. Richard Gephardt - 10 minutes, 2 seconds.
  5. Joe Lieberman - 9 minutes, 26 seconds.
  6. Carol Moseley Braun - 8 minutes, 39 seconds.
  7. Al Sharpton - 8 minutes, 28 seconds.
  8. John Edwards - 8 minutes, 0 seconds.
  9. Dennis Kucinich - 5 minutes, 9 seconds.
