A Zogby International poll released on August 15, 2008, indicated that most Republicans and Democrats want Libertarian candidate Bob Barr to be included in the presidential debates. Nearly 70% of independent voters would like to see Barr included. The same poll indicated that nearly half of likely voters, and a majority (59%) of independent voters would like to see independent candidate Ralph Nader included in the debates as well.[44]

I'll be watching Barr's replies to the infomercials of McBama.

I have just finished phoning all local Obama campaign offices and McCain campaign offices asking them to insist that Bob Barr and Ralph Nader be included in tonight's debates.

Has anyone else?
