ST. PAUL, Minn. - Larry King, the celebrated talk show host accustomed to A-list interview guests, has agreed to moderate a debate featuring a squad of minor-party presidential candidates. The former CNN giant will guide next Tuesday's debate in Chicago, which will be broadcast on the Internet. The candidates taking part are the Libertarian Party's Gary Johnson, the Green Party's Jill Stein, the Constitution Party's Virgil Goode and the Justice Party's Rocky Anderson. King told The Associated Press that it's clear none of them will win, but he said they all deserve a voice in the presidential race. Democrats and Republicans are keeping tabs on Johnson and Goode, two ex-Republicans who could be factors in key battleground states. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIDEO: Green party pols arrested PHOTOS: Where Obama and Romney stand on issues | Timeline: Obama's first term | Mitt Romney's run for president DATABASES: Database: NY superPAC donors | NY Super PAC contributions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "They have a story to tell. It's a valid story," King said. "It's a two-party system, but not a two-party system by law." King left CNN in 2010 and now hosts a show on Ora.TV, an on-demand Internet channel. The debate was organized by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation, which has criticized the debates between Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney for excluding third-party candidates and coming off as too programmed. Organizers say at-home viewers will be encouraged to submit real-time questions on the social media like Twitter, where they'll get King's attention with the "AskEmThisLarry" hashtag.

I think it is a shame that they have not been included in the debate, that is true democracy. |

I agree Mal, they should be able to at least get in the national debates and really have their platforms heard. |

Hey they getz no sympathy from me...They know the rules! They'd better steal a page out of Obama's playbook/recruit more of our Great Jewish Brothers who control America. Edited by The SOLE Controller, Oct 22 2012, 12:50 PM.
