The Associated Press inspected the transcripts from four network debates – CBS, CNBC, CNN and Fox – and found that Gov. Mitt Romney, who has consistently polled at the top of the GOP pack, did receive the highest number of total questions across these events. Romney was asked 45 questions, followed next by Herman Cain, who received 37 questions. Gov. Rick Perry and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich followed close behind: Perry was asked a total of 36 questions, Gingrich was asked 35. Bachmann and Santorum tied with 29 questions each, and rounding out the group was Ron Paul, who has received the fewest number of questions: 27.
the take away is some nut saying everyone has a fair chance to discuss the issues key to their candidacy which is ridiculous when Ron is asked only questions everyone knows his position on and is rarely asked about the economy except when the topic of the debate is PURE economy.
