Voters Want Bob Barr in the Debates


Zogby released a poll today that shows that a majority of voters want Libertarian Candidate Bob Barr included in the Presidential Debates.


"More than half of likely voters nationwide - 55% - want Republican-turned-Libertarian Bob Barr to participate in presidential debates this fall"


Also, they have Barr at 6% nationally. This poses a dilemma because the rules set out by the debate commission say a candidate need at least 15% to be included in the debates they sponsor, which are usually the only ones that candidates will attend.


I know the two major party candidates are scared of this thought, because they do not want to go up against Barr, who is not the status quo like themselves.


This is a different type of election, and the voters are wanting to hear something besides the same old garbage that is thrown at them every 4 years. Let Bob Barr into the debates, and this will be the different voice.
