EQUAL TIME = 14 minutes for 1 & 5 minutes for another War = Peace. Slavery = Freedom, Bush = a president.
How Many Minutes Each Candidate Received
For Immediate Release: October 10, 2003
CNN�s Democratic presidential candidates� debate last night was held with the stated intention of providing the candidates equal time. According to the Hotline (National Journal), here are the results:
Candidate Amount Of EQUAL Debate Time
Dean 14 min 07 seconds
Kerry 12 min 31 seconds
Clark 10 min 36 seconds
Gephardt 10 min 02 seconds
Lieberman 9 min 26 seconds
Braun 8 min 39 seconds
Sharpton 8 min 28 seconds
Edwards 8 min 00 seconds
Kucinich 5 min 09 seconds
At the debate, Congressman Kucinich stood out, expressing some of the clearest and sharpest distinctions between himself and other candidates, and receiving applause for his comments. It is safe to assume that his impact would have been even greater had he been given more than 36 percent of the time given to Gov. Dean.
Kucinich presented the outlines of a plan he has just released to bring US troops home from Iraq, end the war profiteering, and allow the United Nations to facilitate Iraqi self-governance.
