3rd Party Debates

[xoder]

Saw the 3rd party debates tonight. Would it really be so hard to put Bush and Kerry in a similar free-form situation, unlike the "dual press conference"-style offerings we've had of late?

Points of note: Badnarik is an amazing speaker. The Socialist guy isn't. The Constitution Party has one justification for all their issues, and would seem to prefer us to be a theocracy (c.f. www.godfamilyrepublic.com). And Cobb, of the Green Party seems like a nice guy.

And that's all I gotta say about that.

Oh, and I went to www.vote.nyc.ny.us to try and find out which of the above four are running in NYC, and found the site was down. Very sad.

No, it wouldn't be hard, but it would cause them to think, and it's against the rules and rules of the organization that they made up. (not to mention that the cantidates are still writing their own rules)
