Obviously they got their attention. That's when you keep hammering away, to grow from a nuisance to a real problem that they will have to acknowledge and address. Who sponsors ppppolls? Where does their revenue come from? Find them, and attack attack attack.

That's the approach they're taking now. Rather than focusing direction on th Presidential Debate Commission, they're gunning for the sponsors.

Right, but i don't think the debate commission is going to change its mind on the matter. To me the pollsters would be the easier nut to crack, without having to tackle the Commission

It's too late for the polls, the "invites have already been sent out", ie, any future polls will not have any effect. This is more like a last-ditch attempt.

I mean, they've managed to get Philips to pull out. One more of the larger sponsors, and the commission is really going to have to start reconsidering

So no more entertaining the candidates with CD-i Zelda games?

I know it's too late for polls now. I'm thinking of the future.

In terms of the future, I'm hoping this will be the worst election in modern history, and that things will turn around. At least one of the parties will have to start to really accommodate the views of the population, soon. Unrest is growing too strong. Unless the parties want to face death, completely.

I've been saying that we're due for a realignment. Two party still, of course, but one that sees both sides being more ideologically consistent.
