There is quite a wide choice of presidential candidates, actually, including the Green Party's Ralph Nader (who is attracted rallies of 12,000-15,000 people), the Reform Party's Pat Buchanan, and lesser lights - but articulate speakers - from the Libertarian, Natural Law, and Constitution parties, among others. The outrage in the USA is the collution between major news networks (owned by corprate America) and the Presidential Debate Commission (also owned by corporate America.) In the "Land of the Free", censorship through suppression of debate and denial of air time is down to a crushingly fine art, with the noblest exception being C-SPAN, as I am sure many Mudcatters know. P.S. A vote for Nader is a vote for Nader.
