Libertarian Jason over at Yearning to Breathe Free sent me a link to a video set to music of what happened at the last Gubernatorial Debate. Well, what happened outside the Gubernatorial Debate, when two Bill Peirce supporters (Howard Kornhauser and Arjen Peirce) dressed up as Chickens to protest both Ken Blackwell and Ted Strickland for refusing to allow third party candidates who are on the ballot to join the debate. One "chicken" wore a Ted name tag with a picture of a donkey on his back and one "chicken" wore a Ken name tag with a picture of an elephant on his back.
Both men were arrested for being in the street, but if you watch the video it's obvious to see they were not the only ones who were in the street and there was the same sort of sign jostling that happened at the UT Strickland event to be infront of the cameras.
Maybe someday we will actually have a democracy where State candidates who earn a place on the ballot are included. After all here in Toledo, even the Opal Covey's of the world are included...

What is most interesting about the article you cited about the debate is the fact that it was held with support from Public Television not corporate television.
I too feel that we should have open and equal voices from the third, fourth, five and so on candidates but when the two parties control, not directly but indirectly, the course of the conversation the other candidates are not heard from.
People, voters, need to speak up for the other candidates if they want variety and change and not the same old prepacked stale selections we have now.
Agreed anonymous, well written and thank you.
