Who had the most air time? Clinton, but Bernie wasn't far behind...

NPR ran its stopwatch Tuesday to track which candidate spoke the longest (as we did for the last debate, during which Trump spoke the longest by far).

Bernie Sanders had a slight lead over Hillary Clinton after the first break, but then Clinton moved ahead. Lincoln Chafee trailed for most of the debate — he didn't speak at all between the second and third breaks. Here is the final tally of how much air time each candidate received:

Clinton: 30 min 25 sec

Sanders: 27 min 41 sec

O'Malley: 17 min 08 sec

Webb: 15 min 20 sec


Chafee: 9 min 05 sec

I kept expecting Sandman to show up with a broom.
