Should Bob Barr be included in the debates?

We’ve been running a poll in the side bar, asking you whether Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate for president, should be included in the debates and other events that both Barack Obama and John McCain participate in?

The majority seem to agree that Bob Barr should be included (6 votes), but almost as many (4 votes) think he doesn’t need to be included.

It’s an especially interesting question now that the news has come out that neither the Democratic nor Republican parties managed dotted every i and crossed every t necessary to have their candidates on the ballot in Texas. It looks like the Democratic and Republican candidates will still be on the ballot, but the Libertarian Party is not too happy to be held to higher standards than the two major parties. Can’t really blame them, either.
