As IPR already reported, there will be another debate between the alternative Presidential candidates who are listed on enough state ballots to win the election, to take place tomorrow.
On October 30, Ralph Nader, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin will debate each other at the Cleveland (Ohio) City Club, between 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm. The City Club is at 850 Euclid Ave, on the 2nd floor. According to Free and Equal’s Christina Tobin, all three participants have confirmed they will be there. Cynthia McKinney, Barack Obama, and John McCain are also invited.
McCain and Obama are extremely unlikely to accept, if nothing else because of their exclusive contract with the Commission on Presidential Debates. No word yet from the McKinney campaign. Also, no word from Rosa Clemente, the Green VP candidate, on the VP debate on Sunday, November 2 in Las Vegas, with Libertarian Wayne Root, the Constitution Party’s Darrell Castle, and Nader running mate Matt Gonzalez.

Does anyone know where this debate may be viewed now (11-17)? Would love to see it. Thanks!

If McKinney and Clemente don’t make this and the Nov. 2 VP debate in Vegas, they should be ashamed of themselves, and Greens should be ashamed of them.
Particularly stupid strategically, since they are in last or next to last place by various measures among those invited.
I’ll be interested in seeing this.
IDK what McKinney is thinking if she doesn’t show up. Her campaign has been moronically invisible. At least Barr got media.
from the Barr Campaign:
“Bob Barr and Ralph Nader to Debate in Ohio
Thursday’s Debate Will be First and Last Meeting of the Two Candidates
The City Club of Cleveland is hosting a debate between Libertarian Party Presidential Nominee Bob Barr, consumer activist Ralph Nader and Pastor Chuck Baldwin on Thursday, October 30 at 4:30 p.m. EDT.
When: Thursday, October 30, at 4:30 p.m. EDT.
Where: The City Club of Cleveland; 50 Euclid Ave, 2nd Floor, Cleveland, OH
Topic: The Economy: “Where do we go from here?”
This will be the first professionally organized debate to include both Bob Barr and Ralph Nader. The Thursday visit to Cleveland is former congressman Barr’s fourth visit to Ohio — a state that will play a crucial role in the presidential election.
Being as seating is limited and there will be questions from the audience, please BE SURE TO ARRIVE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr represented the 7th District of Georgia in the U. S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003. Barr’s name will appear before 95 percent of Americans when they vote on Election Day – more than any other third-party or independent candidate.”
Pretty much the same as the others.
According to an email from the Baldwin campaign,
The City Club of Cleveland debate, moderated by Dan Moulthrop of Cleveland’s PBS radio and television stations, will be streamed live by ideastream (http://www.wviz.org/).
I’ll update the entry a little later if someone else doesn’t get to it first.
City Club is always on one of the public access channels in Cleveland’s time-warner cable line-up. maybe C-SPAN will just take their taping of it and rebroadcast it.
Reportedly, CSPAN will tape it for later. We should write and call them mand see if we can get it to go live.
Also, how about Break the Matrix or other webcasting?
CSPAN is going to record the event and broadcast it at a later date that will be announced and on their schedules.
CSPAN be there? I know if one campaign records it, they’ll most likely just show them speaking.
The city club website says 4pm, though. I wonder if it is 4 or 4:30?
What’s wrong with McKinney? I thought until now that she was less evil than Nader, but now I’m not sure.
