I’m always skeptical about whether petitions – especially online petitions – ever have any effect whatsoever. They’re probably even less meaningful than online polls, which is to say, hardly meaningful at all except as a measure of how much publicity they got in certain circles. But at least I agree with this one, which says the presidential debates should be organized by a non-partisan (rather than bipartisan) commission. The aim is to improve the chance of third-party candidates being included and, as Roderick Long puts it, “to make the debates less like press conferences and more like actual debates.”
