Statistical CNN debate irony

[Statistikhengst]

For the upcoming CNN Republican candidates' debate (for President), now that CNN is taking 11 candidates in the big debate and Rick Perry has dropped out of the race, this means that only 4 candidates will be participating in the "kiddy table debate" at 6 PM: Santorum, Jindal, Pataki and Graham. It looks like Gilmore was not even invited for the kiddy table debate.

This means that those four candidates will have more time to speak than the candidates at the "big" debate at 8 PM.

Ballot Access News noticed this phenomenon as well:

Ha. That's very funny that they will get more time considering I expect each one of them to drop out (maybe not Gilmore) within 2 months. At this point, they should just put them all on the same stage and watch the crazy begin.

It's not really a 'debate,' it functions more like a game show.

Well, it's *supposed* to be a debate...
