link below to NYT article. I haven't seen any of the other candidates' reaction to this. If any have commented, could someone please post a link? Thanks!

Otherwise DK and Al would be able to continue making them look like corporate shills, why would they want that to keep happening?

3. I think the candidates remember
how angry the Greens got when Nader wasn't allowed to debate. In hindsite, I think Nader should have been in the debate.

I personally think it would be a big mistake not to include all of the candidates.

4. If any of them do
I will personally write to them and thank them. I will then re evaluate any bad feelings I might have towards them. This is absurd and totally undemocratic.

6. They probably agree..
Dennis and Al keep pointing out how the frontrunners offer no real change.

7. If the best candidate is barred from the debates, I'll write in the best
candidate in the GE. I will also call for all Democrats to boycott the watching of the debates. If the other candidates don't want to split the party, they better demand the inclusion of Sharpton and Kucinich. I could never vote for any candidate who does not demand their inclusion.

8. Have Kucinich or Sharpton commented?
I have seen anything that any of the candidates have commented on the subject. I would like Kucinich and Sharpton in the race and the debates all the way through to the convention. NYT can bite me!
