Debate tonight--Kucinich and Sharpton in or out?
I just read something that said they were out, but I'd heard earlier that they were in. Any one have a definitive answer?

4. usually fair on time not questions
usually they get a fair share of time just not questions. The best part is that they are there. They give the best answers, they have the most pointed responses to GOP antics. I am so glad they are still in the race and I hope they will stay till March 9th, which I believe they shall. I am glad the field has narrowed as it has, but I have wanted them to stay the whole time. Today is Nat'l Kerry meet up btw

6. Their questions will revolve around the theme: 'Why are you still here?'
Which sucks, but it will happen. I'd love to see them ask Kucinich about a) what to do with Iraq, and b) what to do with the budget, because he makes so much more sense on both issues than the major folks--his performance at one of the first debates won me over when he said IN A DEBATE that he would cut the defense budget. I was a believer after that. :)

Kerry's questions will revolve around Bush, the 'special interest' create-a-scandal (see the Howler for that one), and gay marriage. Edwards will probably get a few on how he expects to win now, and some more about losing primaries in the south, and some more about his trade votes and the poverty focus of his stump speech.

All candidates will get the most inane horse race questions imaginable.

:D

7. Voters should demand a REAL debate
I'm so sick of this pseudo-debate crap I can't stand it.
