Did anyone see the third-party debates?

They were on two weeks ago on C-Span? I thought they were much better than the Dem-Republican "debates" (more like exchange of mudslings).
You can download it here (http://www.c-span.org/search/basic.asp?BasicQueryText=cobb+badnarik). You need Real Player though or it won't download.

I saw bits and pieces when flipping through the channels; they were much more "spirited," from what I saw, but other than that, I haven't been impressed with third party candidates since Ross Perot.

I saw it. Really shows you why Bush and Kerry don't want to debate the third-party candidates. They'd get their asses handed to them.

Except for Walt Brown, Socialist. He seemed totally unprepared and had to keep looking down to read notes.

Wait... I didn't see this one. I only saw the one between just Badnarik and Cobb.
I guess it's time to start procrastinating my World Sys paper again.

Lol, I didn't even know third party candidates had debates. Was it all of them at once, or just a few? :confused:

That's because if everyone knew about them, then a third party candidate might win one day, and the Dems and Republicans can't have any of that.

It was Peroutka, Cobb, Badnarik, and Brown. Nader was invited, I believe, but didn't come.

Candidate #1: "A vote for me is useless".
Candidate #2: "No, a vote for me is useless."
Candidate #3: "Nu-Uh, Im more useless than either of you."
This has been The Third Party debate, in a Nutshell.

Me either. This restores 1% of my faith in our democracy.

But, unlike the Dems and Repubs, the third party candidates didnt exchange personal attacks on one another..
