More voices are better than a few. Unfortunately Nader is right, there isn't much difference between the Republicans and the Democrats...and if by chance there might be, those differences would be better highlighted with more voices involved in the debates. At the very least, Ralph Nader, Libertarian candidate, Bob Barr, and Green Party candidate, Cynthia McKinney, ought to be allowed to debate. Frankly, our election process needs to change. Our future is too important to limit to two groups. Our news outlets ought to step up to the plate and play their part...or we're all headed to the internet. Obama’s site and McCain’s site.
