Yes to Alan Keyes, but no to Dennis Kucinich
Is the Des Moines Register kidding me? While it wont affect necessarily my debate watching experience, it is ridiculous that the Register said yes to Alan Keyes being in the Repuke debate today, but no to DK for tomorrow.

2. I don't think has been in any debates before.
That's what makes it even more shocking.

4. well, we should thank them.
That means that Kucinich will get more coverage this way than he would have while they ignored him during the debate.
AND it means that instead of making the other loons from the GOP look sane, Keyes will simply repeatedly raise issues and take incredible stances that will make people realize that they are all insane.

A double win, as it were. If I may.

5. wow, i was already planning on watching the debate today anyhow but now it has Keyes

As far as Kucinich being excluded from the democrats---ridiculous and kind of shocking.

6. Alan Keyes. The non-player personified.

He could be replaced by a potted plant ... a Crown-of-Thorns, perhaps?

7. Had I known this I would have mentioned it in my phone call to them
I wrote about calling the Register in a post on this thread:

My post isn't important but the OP has contact information in it.

8. That's why I'm giving it a miss...
Without Dennis, Biden will be the only reason to watch - and he isn't a good enough reason for me.
