A federal judge needed to step in and order NBC to let Dennis Kucinich debate with the other candidates tonight before the So. Carolina primary. While he is not my cup of tea as a political candidate, barring him from speaking only cheats the electorate from hearing something different than what Obama, Clinton and Edwards will say. It is not NBC and the other media corporations' place to choose who the candidates ultimately are.
In many ways, having Kucinich in the debate is far better for the ultimate Democratic candidate than not having him in. Dennis serves as Democratic party conscience, the only person who is completely true to his liberal ideals.
This is not to say that Clinton, Edwards or Obama have sold out their Democratic heritage. They just have reached the epiphany that while it is important that the party to push their ideals of looking out for the common man and protecting the environment, it is also important to remember that most of the voters reside not at the ideological extremes of the landscape but to the center.
So, let the debate begin and let them all be heard. That's the democracy is run.
