The Debate Omission

Posted on September 09th, 2004 in Election04, Libertarians

Third parties can’t even get to the podium

The most objective criteria for the presidential
debates would be to admit any candidate who is on
enough ballots to win nationally. This would in no
way create an impossibly unwieldy situation. Primary
debates prove that well more than five candidates can
be involved without chaos reigning. That criterion
would definitely make room for Badnarik-and it would,
according to a Rasmussen poll make a majority of Americans happy to see him there,
even if hardly any of them think they are going to
vote for him now. That poll shows 68 percent support
for his appearing in the debates, with only a 3
percent intention to vote for him.

I was at a DebateProtest back in 2000. It’s sad to see we haven’t made any progress in the last 4 years.
