Arithmetic, Popeye. 15/18 = 5/6, not a huge difference. And you're curiously silent about the fact that Ryan took four minutes on one of his answers rather than the allotted two, and Raddatz let him do it.
Btw, why aren't you rabid righties parsing the time clock on the Obama-Romney debate? Is it because Rmoney got away with more time than Obama?
4 minutes if you total in all the interruptions from Biden and the moderator.....
Biden got 1 1/2 minutes more than Ryan and if you could add in his interjections during Ryans answer time it would add on 10 min. more...

The 2012 vice presidential debate was sometimes a
2-on-1 fight, with Biden and moderator Martha Raddatz both interrupting Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan repeatedly. It was hard to top Biden’s obnoxious tone, though. The Washington Examiner quoted the
RNC’s JoePounder
saying “Biden interrupted 82 times during the entire debate.” To those watching on television, that seemed like a low number.
Raddatz followed the Biden lead though – interrupting the debaters 50 times. She leaned heavily on Ryan, interrupting him 31 times, 12 more than the 19 times she cut off Biden. She also took a liberal tone onabortion and let Biden control the debate tone by never shutting up. He led Ryan on time by 1 minute 20 seconds, 41:32 to 40:12, but it was doubtful thatt he debate clock could track every Bidenism. CNN’s Anderson Cooper said Biden managed to “continually inject himself” into Ryan’s comments. Cooper, too, was living in the land of understatement.
