What a Mascarade

We face this circus during every election. Some executive of a media outlet, decides not to include viable candidate because their numbers are too low. Of course, being excluded and not having a voice can only result in low numbers. And low numbers can result in not having a voice. In all this, the people suffer for not getting the full picture.

RIP the Democratic Process.

Judge grants Kucinich entry to Nevada debate - The Debates- msnbc.com
LAS VEGAS - A Nevada judge said Monday that Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich must be included in Tuesday's candidates' debate in Nevada.
Senior Clark County District Court Judge Charles Thompson said if Kucinich is excluded, he'll issue an injunction stopping the televised debate.
The judge sided with a lawyer for the Ohio congressman, who says debate host MSNBC at first invited Kucinich to take part and then told him last week he couldn't.
A lawyer for the network said MSNBC decided to go with the top three candidates after the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries.
The judge called it a matter of fairness and said Nevada voters will benefit if they hear from more than just Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards. NBC issued a statement saying, "We disagree with the judge's decision and are filing an appeal."
