How Third Parties Will Navigate Around Denied Access

admin @ September 26, 2008 # No Comment Yet

The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) requires 15% in at least five national polls to participate in the debates and the current, two-party candidates have acquiesced to the thresholds created by the CPD. Garnering 15% in five national polls is a high bar but not unachievable IF there were actually five national polling firms that fairly included third party and independent candidates.

BUSH’S KNESSET REMARKS AN APPALLING DISPLAY OF HYPOCRISY AND IGNORANCE
