Presidential Debates
* Re “Debate for Two Is a Loss for Voters,” Commentary, Sept. 6:
William Bradley writes, regarding the presidential debates, that minor party candidates Ross Perot, Ralph Nader and Harry Browne may not have answers, but that they do have some of the questions. He argues for including them in the debates.
But how about including them by making them the questioners? (The time for putting a question would have to be strictly limited or they would turn questions into speeches.) Who more than these three might better be able in asking the questions to “get outside the thoroughly ritualized theater that conventional American politics has become”?
