Bill Moyers did an excellent job on PBS last night of interviewing these two very thoughtful men. Everyone I talked to was impressed. This really also addresses some of Tracy's questions about separation of church and state.

Both men made very good points just want to touch on one of Dennis's points. Where does the media get off not giving every candidate the same amount of air time. Seems to me that with something as vitally important as this election it should be the responsibly of big media to spread the message of all who want to lead us.

The New Hampshire Republican Party dropped their affiliation with a Republican debate sponsored by Fox News tomorrow night because they have limited the number of candidates that can participate.
Good for them!

I sent complaints to both ABC and Fox news about the exclusions. I even called. How dare the media decide who I am going to vote for before the first primary vote is cast. They do an amazing job of picking who they think should win and then covering only those candidates.
Actually Kucinich, Gravel, (Dodd and Biden have dropped out) on the Democratic side and Paul, Hunter on the Republican side have a great deal to say of interest.
Paul raised more money than any Republican candidate in the 4th quarter. Got 10% of the vote in the Iowa caucus - more than twice Rudy's numbers and was excluded. Amazing.
I was surprised to see that due to all the uproar at Fox, their stock has dropped. (maybe coincidental - maybe not.)
Aside from that however, I really enjoyed hearing about the candidates ideas in this format. Sometimes the 30 sec. 60 sec. debate format doesn't do justice to the more complex ideas these candidates have to put forward.
