Gingrich has been given about 3.5 minutes more than Santorum (as of when that study was done last month). How much do you think 3.5 minutes of national airtime is worth with an interested audience?
Place a dollar figure on that, then tell me it's not much more.
And Romney and Perry have both been given more time than Gingrich. Based on your reasoning, they should be beating the pants off Gingrich, but both are losing to him.
It’s not necessarily how much time you’re given, but how you are using it.
I’m sure that Santorum has made some good points over the season of debates, but obviously he hasn’t been able to push all the right buttons at the most opportune times.
