I expected better from both the Clinton and the Edwards campaigns, but they were caught on a live mike conspiring to eliminate their opponents from future debates.
“We should try to have a more serious and a smaller group,” Edwards is heard to say into Clinton's ear.
Clinton agreed, according to both print reports and video footage. “We've got to cut the number. ... They're not serious.”
Dennis Kucinich may not have much of a shot at winning the Democratic nomination for president, but he is playing a vital role in these debates. He is forcing the front-runners to address important issues that they would rather avoid. Who else among these candidates is calling for impeachment? Repealing the Patriot Act? Universal health care? Gay rights (including the right to marry)?
It is not up to the front runners to decide who speaks to the American public. Maybe Clinton and Edwards have been in contact with the Bush Administration for too long. Some of that “we're better than you” attitude starting to rub off on 'em.
Watch it for yourself
