Open Debates commissioned a
Zogby poll of likely voters nationwide to determine which candidates the American people want to see included in the 2004 presidential debates. The poll found that 40 percent of likely voters want to see presidential debates that only include John Kerry and George W. Bush; 57 percent of likely voters would like to see "other candidates" included.
When asked about specific candidates:

Of course, the Commission on Presidential Debates will be excluding all of the above from all of the upcoming debates, instead speanding millions of corporate sponsor dollars on 90 minute free advertising for the 2 major parties.
Gotta love our democracy, huh?
