Not only did Romney take over the role of moderator in tonight's debate,
he promised that when he took office he would fire Jim Lehrer (and Big
Bird). People that know him knew he would do that.

And yet Obama was the beneficiary of 4 minutes more time to speak than
Romney got.

Obama wasted a lot of his time rambling, Romney made his points more
succinctly.

Pretty generous of him to give Obama 4 minutes more speaking time than he
had.

stuttering ad rhetoric ran into a real man last night.

I doubt that he was counting. In any case Obama didn't do a whole lot
with that extra time, that was very apparent.

Four minutes of doing nothing is no advantage.

But 500 less words, if you into dodging to secretarial work.

Clearly you weren't counting "er" "um" and "uh". Those would easily
wipe out a word deficit twice that size.
