“Marketing Arm of DNC Allowed to Moderate Democrat Debate”
or
“Show Debate Glorifies DNC Favorites”

Oh, puh-leeze!
Is this what we've come down to? Counting words to determine "fairness"?
First of all, an eloquent speaker can make his point in fewer words. (Cheney, for example, is great at this).
Second, Kucinich who? Gravel who? Limit the debate to the top four players -- the others are taking up space. President Kucinich indeed.
Obama speaks two or three times slower than Hillary. I would be curious as to the breakdown of seconds or minutes spoken between Obama and Hillary (not just words).I think you would find that Obama clearly spoke several more minutes than Hillary, if not more than just several.
Hypothesis:
Distorting the attention in favor of the front runners and ignoring the kooks is beneficial to a party overall.
I’ll bet the MSM provides this benefit much more significantly to the Dems than to the Republicans.
The study would analyze how much the word count correlates with the poll standings. More correlation=more assistance to that party.
Welcome to the GOP world, whereas the republican candidate is only allowed to respond to the Drive By’s accusations and more often than not, cannot get a word in edgewise.
The problem is, the TV cameras won’t turn down low enough to see anything but the top of his head.
Just shut up and sing!
Oh, wait. Wrong thread.
I love Dennis Kucinich!!! LKet’s hope he makes it to the finals
When any pollster calls tell them your favorite is KUCINICH!!!
