[Lnc-business] LP Presidential Debates c/o Arvin Vohra

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

This isn't forcing regulations on anyone, it is committing us to host
debates on our site that meet our standards.  That is perfectly
reasonable.  What am I missing here?  I am inclined to co-sponsor but am
baffled by Mr. Goldstein's comments.  I would hope there isn't opposition
merely because of the source.  The past is the past.
