In Canada, this month, the main parties tried to exclude the Green Party candidate from the debates. The people and media were outraged, so they pressured the organizers and the main parties, and got her in the debates. The Broadcast consortium has reversed their decision and allowed Elizabeth May to take part in the nationally televised leaders debates . The US people and media should follow this REAL DEMOCRATIC example. See greenparty(dot)ca/en/releases/­09.08.2008b

This opportunity will be marked in history either as one that exposed the truth or one that camouflaged the lies.

If Obama is ducking out of a real debate, expose him as such! Where's the accountability?

I'd like to hear at emerging-party candidates'/independents' perspectives contrasted with the Dems/Repubs.

Back when the CNN-YouTube presidential debates took place, most of the candidates there had under 10% polling, and some had barely 1%. They were still invited though, why does that have to change for the general election?
