3. As a democrat, I am against censoring candidates.
If Bill Richardson was allowed to get on stage and almost dominate the ABC TV debate in NH with his long and repetitive ramblings, then I don't see why it would be such a problem to have 5 candidates on stage.

I'm not saying that all 5 should be guaranteed equal time necessarily. But there is no justification for shutting candidates out of the televised debates, which are an important part of the primary process.
