Awesome! It would be interesting to see Smith and Jingozian in, but this looks like a good lineup.

Is there going to be a Vice-Presidential debate?

Keep in mind that some may have given their token to their second choice candidate.

It still appears to be largely a 2 ‘man’ race.
Maybe the debate will sway some votes.

It should be interesting to see if any of the debate candidates end up considered for VP.
And would any coming Sunday seeking to be delegates be seated?

Are there any definite plans to YouTube the debate? I may end up missing this live…

Umm … NOTA does not get to debate (and only if someone sets it up in advance does anyone get to nominate, either).

The fact that there are six candidates who got the necessary 10% means at least a few are “playing fair” this time, perhaps even encouraging their fans to spread the wealth a little. Apparently there was nothing left over for Ms. Smith to join the fray, but six is a good span across the stage.

This set (I predict your tally is correct – duh!) will at least provide for a lively telecast. I have C-Span set to tape starting at 8:00 my time … look fwd to viewing when I get off work tonite.

Does somebody speaking for NOTA get into this debate?

PEACE

Wow, each of them got at least 10%? Sounds like there’s no one clear front runner if six candidates get at least 10%.

Well I must say, it’s nice to have so many candidates to hear from, although we not be hearing too much from each as there’s six of them.
