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

[Sam Goldstein]

Ms. Harlos, 

What does the section below mean to yoy? 

2. The debates must not use underhanded or indirect methods to keep 
>> out
>> particular candidates (e.g. setting the debate at a time that would be
>> bizarre for some U.S. time zones)
>>  

How exactly is the LNC going to regulate these very subjective criteria?

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.
