Comments on: C-SPAN Will Cover Nader-Baldwin Debate Live http://www.ballot-access.org/2008/10/22/c-span-will-cover-nader-baldwin-debate-live/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 05:30:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=1925 By: paulie http://www.ballot-access.org/2008/10/22/c-span-will-cover-nader-baldwin-debate-live/comment-page-1/#comment-551147 paulie Thu, 23 Oct 2008 19:30:40 +0000 http://www.ballot-access.org/?p=4173#comment-551147 So here are some things I am wondering about 1) Ken Moellman claims more debates are in the works. Does anyone have any info on this? I would especially appreciate something which can be verified with the campaigns. 2) “NotABarrFan” says Baldwin/CP has been having problems and might pull out. Anyone from the Baldwin campaign/CP care to confirm or deny? Posted at IPR (link above) also. So here are some things I am wondering about

They really need to limit this because I am sure the demand will be very very high. I can see so many people wanting to buy tickets at $100 a pair now. No wonder the sitw was down. This will be comparable to a Ron Paul money bomb for sure. Hope they have free drinks like reason did for this price! Thank you Paulie — It is now working — and get this $50 per person.

Only Nader and Baldwin responded. I asked the Barr and McKinney campaigns weeks ago if they were attending the original and got no response.

I called the campaign and they are considering my suggesting of bowing out because this is obviously a set up by the Nader folks.

Wasn't the reason counter debate free? Why did they only announce today that this costs money? Is so many people interested that they really have to limit tickets? Forget this crap -- I guess I will watch on line (just to see how many people show up and PAY for this stupid poorly plan debacle of a debate). Oh wait, perhaps because I am a Baldwin supporter is why they are trying to limit and charge me. I should call back, say I am a Nader raider, and see how many I can bring for free!

For those who don't think the candidates have anything better to do; I know for a fact that the Barr campaign has been very busy. They just made another swing through Ohio last night, stopping at the University of Cincinnati. We also tried to get him into Northern Kentucky while he was nearby, but unfortunately our venue was canceled on us (not the campaign's fault).

On the other hand, considering that he snubbed Ron Paul a month or so ago and held a competing conference (indicating that he had no scheduling conflict), I can see why so many people do not trust him. Nonetheless, I think that it would be a good idea for Libertarians who do not wish to support Baldwin to vote Barr anyway, because they can help the LP get access on more ballots next time if they do, which is the big goal right now. Really, there should be a more coordinated attempt to set up debates for 2012. Considering how little notice the candidates had for this, I am not going to blame Bob Barr for not showing up at this.
