I took both pages of the CNN transcript and ran them through an excel spreadsheet, counting various items to get a rough % of words spoken by the candidates at tonight's Youtube debate... Face time? Don't know. Some talk faster than others, though who can argue that all pols aren't fast talkers in one way or another...even the ones we like!

Giuliani 21.7% Romney 20.5% Huckabee 13% McCain 13% Thompson 11.5% Paul 9% Hunter 5.8% Tancredo 5.5% Means that Guliani and Romney are the top two and mixed it up as we all saw from ths start
