I found that Badnarik (Libertarian) and Cobb (Green) had very interesting things to say, and think that if they had been part of the Bush-Kerry debates, the debates would have been more substantive.
BTW, a big
to Bill Moyers for one of the most intelligent and thoughtful shows on TV.
Seconded on both points above. I particularly liked Badnarik's response to the issue of "free speech zones" and the conventions: "Anywhere I happen to be standing is a free spech zone."
I also liked a some of what Peroutka had to day, all up until he said he bases his entire political platform on a divinely inspired legal document (I'm an atheist...that sh*t don't fly with me). Mike, I hear ya on drastically reducing gov't spending, but you've lost me as far as your personal deity is concerned.
Green, as well, was in top form, particularly in his support for canadian style single payer health care.
Walt brown...not so good.
Man oh man do I wish for fair ballot access, debate access, and instant runoff voting.
