Well, isn’t that the point though? All the administration folks are Democrats, so why would you exclude them when counting time?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama talked more than the Republicans. Well, maybe not, since during lunch it seemed someone told him he was looking like an idiot trying to argue substance, so after the break he’s kept his sniping at republicans much shorter.
Absolutely! I'm splitting up the time between Democrat and Republican. The problem I have is that shouldn't this just be a legislative debate? - and the administration is in all this and shouldn't be. The Admin shouldn't even be here, they should be separate but they are Democrat-equal. It's well over 2:1. I wish I had started from the beginning because the start of this whole fiasco was very lopsided as I heard it.
I'll recap the breakouts I timed (after Clyburn-D/when I started timing) in this thread
