"No don't need no bunch of stinking debates" ...

[1StrongBlackMan]

Or, at least that's what the academic research says!

Here's the great news (from my post ... from the research):

However, the research also presents great news for Bernie; but, more so, for O'Malley ... while the number of debates do not really matter ...

... debates are more likely to increase the amount of information voters have about the lesser-know candidates than the better-known candidates. (Holbrook, 1999., at p. 72)

So Oh Man, bang one good on October 13th and again on November 14th ... You have the most to gain!

1. It's not just a shame, that Bernie/O'Malley will ONLY get 2-3 debates to shine

BEFORE more of the weathervane states vote, thanks to the DNC/DWS/HRC
meddling to limit & delay Democratic debates.

It's not just a shame, it's a travesty. It's a frequently-stated truism that the more
people know about Bernie, .. the more they like him, his opponent.. the exact opposite.

AND I suspect the same is true of O'Malley .. who also deserves much more exposure
before Democrats in early states start voting.

2. Um, you're in the O'Malley group. How about saving your praise of Sanders

for more appropriate places?

4. Thank you

I edited my post to include O'Malley, as needing and deserving more
exposure before early-voting states open their polls.

I hope this is acceptable for your Group. I meant no disrespect.

5. No problem at all. O'Malley supporters like and appreciate Sanders too, we just

have other various reasons for preferring O'Malley.

7. Thanks. For me, the feeling is mutual. ~nt~

3. Yes, O'Malley's campaign will take off when we get to the debates.

He's the policy and plan candidate in this race.

6. Yes, he is ...

He's the only candidate to be specific as to what he wants to do. And, this will come out in the 1st debate.
