Or perhaps they are willfully ignorant for this broadcast?

That's SO Bernie!

...the DNC's exclusivity clause.

My message to Martin: You won't claw yourself up into contender status by taking the low road.

My message to Dean: As the architect of the 6 debate schedule, are you also the architect of the exclusivity clause? Well whether you are or not, certainly you know of it.

My message to both of them: Shame on you for being less than honest with your viewers.

I'm sorry but for some reason they are intentionally ignoring the exclusivity rule. I don't know how myopic the mainstream media can be but I recall agreeing with you months ago about how terrible the schedule is and how awful the exclusivity rule was.


Bernie ALSO was for more debates but he was not going to go on a suicide mission for them and torpedo his chances of being in the "sanctioned debates." Debbie Wasserman-Schultz would have been ecstatic to eliminate a few candidates using it. I seem to recall that Webb and Chafee both seemed on board with the DNC rules.

I will again agree that the rules are garbage and the debate schedule was horrible but I am a bit sad to see you perpetuate this particular spin.

in which MO'M factually responded to a question from Howard Dean, went on to discuss his policies and plans for the campaign and future. NOT ignoring the exclusivity rule.

Saddens me that this has caused such a brouhaha here.
