I don't get the debate exclusion, though... What's going to hurt to have another or two candidate in the debate? Why is it necessary to narrow the candidates? It's absolutely ridiculous. The Cynic in me thinks that it's seems like a business deal -- since the narrowing the candidates helps the included candidates' election by eliminating competition, which may just give the networks some pull in getting the government to look the other way during shady business deals or the like. The republican loyalty oath is scary. Though I wonder, are these oaths legally binding? It sounded so disturbing to me, that I'm kind of surprised that it did not say to promise the person's first born to or their entire estate to the GOP.

And I think it's appalling that he's being blocked from the ABC debate. I think I'm going to contribute to his campaign. Even if I don't plan on voting for him, h is voice and the issues NEED to be heard. So, if that will help get the spot aired, I'm contributing. That was a good ad, convincing.
