...presidential candidacies using the tried and true method: suppressing access to public debates.
I say that anyone who wants to exclude a candidate is simply afraid to hear what that person has to say. If Nader (for example-- or Cobb, or any other candidate) has nothing substantive to bring to the debates then we will see that and dismiss them accordingly. On the other hand, if they have valid issues to raise and points to make, then suppressing them results in an uninformed electorate.
