LET'S NOT EXCLUDE ANYONE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC DEBATES

KUCINICH CHARGES EDWARDS LACKING INTEGRITY

Dennis Kucinich attacked John Edwards as lacking integrity, saying that the former North Carolina Senator is “whispering, trying to rig an election.” The attack came after Edwards suggested privately to Hillary Clinton that the Democratic debates would be more serious if they were limited to smaller groups. Edwards evidently felt that with 21 candidates on stage, the process was becoming unwieldy.

Edwards later protested that he was not suggesting that anyone be excluded from future debates. Rather, he thought that the debates would be more productive if all the candidates were divided randomly into groups of four. That way the debates would be more productive and no one would be left out.

No one, that is, except Dr. Carl Perrin, who has not even been invited to any of the debates. Perrin would welcome an opportunity to debate any of the other candidates. He is particularly interested in hearing their position on cheap beer.
