CB - [...My understanding is that the reason only Bush and Gore are debating now is that for a third party candidate to be allowed to debate there has to be at least a theoretical chance that he/she could win enough electoral college votes to win the election. If that's true, shame on the party regulars for not getting their candidate on the ballot. ...] No, the Bipartisan Debate Committee (or whatever it's called) effectively insists on a two party debate by requiring a 15% poll level. The Libertarian Party IS on the ballot of all 50 states, as it was in 1996, with an asterisk for Arizona with a different pair on the ticket. Regards, Don

According to the Libertarian party, Al Gore says he is willing to participate in a debate that includes Harry Brown, the Libertarian candidate. Let's hope the American public gets to hear such a debate and that Bush would be willing to participate. Although Brown's chances of winning are slim and none (and Slim just left town), it would certainly be good for people to spend some time thinking (or at least hearing) about individual liberty for once. In any case, I appreciate your prior efforts. Regards, PerryA
