Judge Will Stop Dem Debate If Dennis Isn't Included

“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.

and not letting MSNBC mess with him. I agree with the judge, they shouldn't have invited him in the first place. I hope they slow some class and are not poor losers tomorrow night.

micro or macro

I'd vote against keeping that Chuck Todd guy at MSNBC. Isn't he the one who came up with this exclusion scheme?
They should have kept Kucinich in the debate.

He's both Anti-Dean and Anti-Kucinich. I think he's Anti-Edwards too.

or thought much of his opinion. I'm very sure he's anti-Edwards. I hope this judge's decision gets him in trouble with MSNBC.

Now he has egg all over his face

today? Are they ALL going to be included as per the judge?

and then later on changed their minds. That's just plain bad manners.

it's easy to sum up his debate appearances

"I'm the only real democrat."

"they all suck"

"anyone who doesn't support me isn't a real democrat"

"help send my wife to hawaii"

What if they don't include Kucinich? Judge says no debate. I want this debate to happen. Could be rigged btwn. Judge and M$M?

but just don't ask him any questions?

I just don't want the debate to be called off. It's the only good exposure Edwards gets from the media.

;)

& give him some of their time just to be fair.

Hey, a guy can dream right?

This is turning into one of the more interesting primaries that I can recall.
