As you can see there is a 50% delta between the most allocated speaking time per candidate (Romney) and the least allocated (Paul) in the most recent Florida debate. I think this is a fascinating visualization. I find it particularly interesting that in the Fox News sponsored debate (the “no spin zone”), there was an even greater delta between candidates.
