Those few lonely souls at the newspapers these days so want to think that they still matter.

Mostly they dont.

The standing joke in Richmond is that the other day the coroner's office was delivering a body to the morgue and accidentally ended up at the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

If Gary Johnson is not allowed in at least one of these debates, the media will be doing a disservice to this country.

I do believe he needs 15% in a national poll before each of the debates.
 
I realize that either the crook Donald Trump or the crook Sen. Clinton will be the next president, that's assuming Jeh Johnson doesn't "protect" the election and get Obama in office for a third term, but Trump/Clinton is no joke. It's a tragedy. The Trumpkins and the Clintonistas will have a lot to answer for.

The Commission on Presidential Debates probably won't allow it unfortunately. They demand 15% in 5 unspoken of national polls. That leaves them wiggle room to change the polls they want to choose as being relevant to entry.

*edit... my bad, they have announced the polls:

Commission on Presidential Debates announces polls to be used for securing spot

The polls will be those conducted by ABC-Washington Post, CBS-New York Times, CNN-Opinion Research Corporation, Fox News, and NBC-Wall Street Journal.​
