I Don't Have A Problem With Any Democrat Seeking The Presidency...But [View All]

[THUNDER HANDS]

I hope the debates are limited to those polling above 5% at the time of the debates. We don't need another 8 guys up on stage giving 30 second answers so they have enough time to let everyone speak. If that makes for a debate with only three or four candidates, so be it. Better to have our four top candidates with enough time to give a clear, non-sound bite answer than have 8 guys spitting out talking points. That was one of my gripes with the 2004 primary debates. You knew Gephardt, Leiberman, Sharpton, Braun and Kucinich weren't going to get the nomination, why did they need to stand up there at the podium and take time away from the candidates who the country really needed to hear give long, detailed policy positions and explainations.
