Kucinich debate update: Court Decision by 6:00 pm Vegas Time

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

Las Vegas Sun:

It’s three hours before tonight’s scheduled Democratic debate on MSNBC, yet it remains unclear whether long-shot Dennis Kucinich will be allowed to participate.

A decision is expected from the seven-member state Supreme Court by 6 p.m., the chief justice said at the close of a hastily arranged hearing this afternoon. Four justices were based at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas, where Kucinich was in attendance but did not speak; the three other justices participated via a video feed from Carson City.

5. Neither does Edwards

He wants less people on the stage so that his profile is raised.

7. Dennis is the one that tells the whole truth

about the war in Iraq, the privatized oil contracts and permanent bases. He is also the only one telling the truth about how in order to have universal health care, we must remove the insurance middle man.

2. Well MSNBC still lists him as a participant...

on their website.

4. How the hell with they explain it if he isn't allowed on....

6. No reason he shouldn't be allowed to participate. They got two hours

and if they don't intend to make it a sham, thats more than enough time for him to be permitted to answer some questions along with the others.

Your media in action, and after this the anchors for the weeks and months ahead will all claim how balanced they are in coverage.
