The Debate Omission

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.
