This handy chart comes to us from the Chris Dodd campaign. Watching the debate, it did seem like Duncan Hunter got a lot of airtime. And Dodd's stopwatch confirms it. Sam Brownback was the second tier guy who had the most camera time, but Hunter seemed to leave a more lasting impact. Of the also-rans (like Mr. Dodd himself), who do you think helped himself the most?
How did the Democrats fare on Sunday night? The Dodd camp clocked their time too.

1. Somebody at Dodd's blog has way too much time on their hands. I hope he's paying them well.

2. Scott,
Agreed. Yet informative, nonetheless.

3. CNN is no better than Fox. The elite that control both can't have Ron Paul as president. CNN is a disgrace! Dr Paul is leading on the internet and has raised more money than most of the republicans.
Vote Ron Paul!

5. How can you call this a debate!??! A debate to me is when all those who are taking a part in the debate get THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME for each question. Another question: Why was the camera focused most of the time on the "top three"? This whole game of main stream media makes me sick. Thank God for the internet! Otherwise, the media would decide for us.
VOTE WITH YOUR MIND, AMERICA!
Ron Paul 2008!

6. Isn't it time for the game to be over? The PEOPLE want to hear Dr. Paul. We do NOT want to suffer the likes of Rudy, Mitt and McCain-the 3 stooges. Enough is enough already...FIVE minutes?? And he got 40% of our votes. It doesn't take a rocket scientist now does it?

7. Sad that a wonderful man with real moral values and strong principles is ignored by the media.. He is this country's only chance at securing our Constitution.. Call me crazy, but I thought that piece of paper actually meant something.. Still, Ron Paul made me happy again tonight. Go ROn PAUL!!!

9. The Christians of this nation need to stick together and vote for Huckabee. That's where the real morals are. Ron Paul is an idiot.

10. It is quite obvious that all the comments in favor of Ron Paul on this blog are coming from the same person b/c there could not be that many stupid people in this country.
Melinda at 2:41AM on Jun 6th 2007
11. Add another idiot to the list. The idiot majority will no longer be silent. The Ron Paul campaign is snowballing. We are the majority not the neocons. We are all tired of being manipulated by the Politicians, the Press and the Bureaucrats. Freedom will rule, tyranny goes in the dustbin.
Signed: Idiots For Ron Paul

12. Wake up Melinda Can't you see all those pro-life candidates who don't mind blowing the hell out of innocent woman and children in other countries. But cry over abortions(which they should). Hypocrites !!! Thank God for Ron Paul Dan Attleboro Mass

13. All I can say is that ideas are more powerful than propaganda. Ron Paul's ideas are winning the hearts and minds of the most of the American people who still are rational. Those who respond to fear and think the USA can dominate the world with a strong military will eventually awaken. Ron Paul said the biggest ethical problem at this time is the Neocon idea that we must use war of aggression as an option and even the use of nuclear weapons to enforce our agenda of our freedom with the barrel of a gun. Become Real Republicans and Vote Ron Paul and restore the Constitution. Richard

14. Don't ya love it when the only reply by misguided anti-Ron Paul folks is to call people "idiot" and "stupid" and then stomp out of the room? Truth hurts. I guess it's like childbirth. But once the process is over and people see the light, it is well worth the effort. We all just have to be brave and strong enough to go through that process. GO RON PAUL !!

15. As a former Marine and Gulf war veteran, I am utterly disgusted with this selfish, brain-washed country.
I hope all of us realize exactly what's going on here. The media has and continues to do everything in their power to censor Ron Paul while at the same time promoting their pre-selected "frontrunners".
This is not America anymore, this is a takeover and perversion of everything that this country's supposed to stand for. I am fed up to the point that's hard to put into words. Young men and women are dying every day in Iraq for so-called "freedom" and at the same time right here in this country there's this Nazi / Facist crap going on in the highest levels of government. And if you think the terms "Nazi & Facist" are extreme then I earnestly suggest you take another inventory of our situation.
Ron Paul has said himself that the we, the U.S., is in serious danger of a dictatorship; We are 1 scare away from that right now.
So again, the magic question, the only question is "what are you going to do?" We have to first be aware of what's at stake. Think about our children and what they are facing if WE don't put an end to this. If not us, then WHO? If not now, then WHEN? Things are drastically coming to a head.
Part of what it is to be a conscious and aware human being is to understand the forces that surround you 360 degrees. So I'll leave you with a some words of enCOURAGEment...
