FOX Business Network will host a televised debate between two contenders for the Libertarian presidential nomination, Mike Gravel and Wayne Allyn Root, on May 16 (Friday), at 8:10 am (eastern time). There will be a 10-minute session which ends at 8:20; then there will be a second session, also 10-minutes, that starts at 8:40. Bob Barr was invited into this debate, but he declined.
Also, Reason Magazine hosts a 3-person debate on May 20 in Washington, DC, at 4 pm eastern time. That debate will not be televised, but will include Gravel, Root, and Barr.
I wont be as interested in the one on Fox News because I am more interested in Bob Barr and Wayne Allen Root. The second one should be interesting. If only it was televised.
Notice how they aren’t including all of the Libertarian Presidential candidates, not even the other top contenders? Not suprising from Fox News.
Root & Gravel are colluding on the exclusion game libertarians accuse the MSM of doing — excluding anybody who can really challenge them. That speaks volumes about the character and integrity.
Andy…this is Fox Business Network, not Fox News.
Has any one heard if or when C-Span will be covering the LP nominating session?
RAISE THE BARR BABY !!!! Please see why the Republicans are running scared http://www.bobbarr2008.com
MAY 20th money bomb for Barr !! please spread the word
It’s a positive for all third parties that their is this debate on national cable tv news…..
Glad to see Mike Gravel accepted.
thanks for coverage.
“Also, Reason Magazine hosts a 3-person debate on May 20 in Washington, DC, at 4 pm eastern time. That debate will not be televised, but will include Gravel, Root, and Barr.”
Notice how the “cosmotarian” Reason Magazine keeps the hardcore Libertarians – Mary Ruwart and Steve Kubby – out of the debate.

Ewww, big difference. (sarcasm)
The nomination will be decided at the convention anyway. All these debates are just fluff as the delegates will have a chance to meet and hear from every candidate before deciding. The state primaries will have no impact on the nomination.
