Third party candidates challenge debate exclusion in Boston
Green Party’s Ralph Nader gains a debate ticket from a Northeastern University student and vows to try asking questions. Libertarians sue to force inclusion for Harry Browne, but a Suffolk judge voids the bid. Nader criticizes the debate body’s gatekeeping as Gore and Bush remain the only officially included contenders. Buchanan laments exclusion, comparing it to a Final Four appearance denied.
