Has CNN done the debate word count?

CNN executives justified giving Obama more time because he speaks slower and claimed they were doing a word count to justify it. They have been silent as far as I can tell. If Obama had said significantly fewer words they'd probably let us know. If he spoke significantly more words you know they'd never say anything. If it were only a few words different they'd keep quiet and hope it dies. Has anyone run the debate through a word processor like MS Word to get the count? I'm stuck with a stupid tablet rightnow so I cannot.

No you are right, I just added the reading part to reinforce your point regarding
his verbal skills influencing people.

He sounds like he knows what he is talking about, but once you reflect on it,
you know he’s just using one liners and influencers to get what he wants.

As if CNN can count.

They can’t read either.

Sure, but they are claiming the reason ODrama got more talking time than Romney was because he speaks slower, but the word count was close. But no one has asked: Who counted the words for each candidate?

Anyone with a word processor and a copy of the transcript which can be found on line. I cann’t do because for a while I am stuck with a tablet. It’s just a bit of cut and paste.
