Tired of hearing McCain and Obama???

The 3rd Party debates will be held at Columbia University, and televised on C-SPAN.

So far, the forum will include...

- Ralph Nader (Independent)
- Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)
- Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party)

Apparently Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party nominee, has not decided on whether or not he will show up, as he has stated in the past he wants to debate Nader only (interesting). I think Barr SHOULD show up. Right now, the Libertarians are the leading candidate (as a party) to become the much sought-after Third Party. For him not to show up and at least try to out-debate the other Third Party nominees makes little sense, as it would be a setback for the Libertarians.

John McCain and Barack Obama were invited, but have apparently turned down the invitation. The debate will be hosted by Amy Goodman, host of "Democracy Now!" This will be much to the delight of ol' Finnegan over at hburgnews.com, he's a fan of that show. :)

The debate will be Sunday, October 19th, from 8 to 10 pm.

No word on if the Columbia University security will receive it's own security detail to protect them should Cynthia McKinney decide to show up without her ID.
