It would be interesting to do a debate word count. Did anyone mention the word Bush?

[pinto]

Former President Reagan was mentioned numerous times, as was the point of the location, imo. I listened off and on and can't recall anyone mentioning the *current* President by name. One of their own party.

:shrug:

1. from Tweety--like 5 times, from the candidates--maybe 3 times as a whole.

[nevergiveup]

2. How many times

was 9/11 mentioned? I didn't watch.

3. Not much. Iran seemed to be the "terror" meme.

4. Did anyone mention Reagan?

Just kidding

:rofl:

5. unofficial CNN count

An unofficial count of the number of times the candidates refer to "Ronald Reagan," "President Bush" or "The Reagan Library"
