Boston College psychology professor J.J. Tecce has studied the presidential candidates and the amount of time they blinked. The average person blinks 10 to 20 times per minute, but 30 to 50 times on TV. Obama blinks at 73 per minute vs McCain and 40-50 vs Democrats, and McCain 109 times vs Obama.
Ron Paul only blinked 10 times per minutes. Isn't there a saying that those who blink a lot lie? :)

CNN will be producing a late night talk show with D.L. Hughley on Saturday nights. According to Hughley, a comedian, he wants to talk to "interesting people" like Ron Paul.
TVGuide.com: So it will be in the style of a late-night talk show. You'll do a monologue?
Hughley: We'll do a monologue. We'll do interviews. I don't want to do interviews that are star-driven; I primarily want to talk with people who I find are interesting. Like the Cook County sheriff in Illinois who has refused to evict any more people who've had their homes foreclosed on. Here's an elected official who has taken a stand that puts him at some level of political jeopardy. In four years, when everybody has forgotten about economic downturn, his opponent will run ads that say this dude didn't follow the law. To me that's the bravest thing I've seen a political official do. It will also be interesting to talk to Jesse Jackson who, if Barack Obama wins, will be looking for a job.It's interesting to talk to Ron Paul. I was on Bill Maher's HBO show with him and he was explaining how the Civil War should have never been fought; we could have purchased the slaves for less money. That's an interesting guy to talk to.
