And why isn't this important debate going to be on any major channel???
Because Bloomberg is sponsoring the debate. The real question is why so many debates and why would candidates agree to debate on a network so few watch or maybe get? The only thing all of these debates do is keep candidates in the race who aren't raising much money. That's good in that we see more candidates (at first). That's bad because we see more candidates instead of more substantial debates between less people.

Our choices are already limited pretty badly, I wouldn't suggest we cull the herd any further at this point. If anything more people need to be included, the questions need to be better, and they need more time to answer instead of just tossing out quotes that are sanitized for use as soundbites.
Thanks for the channel info. I guess I will watch it online. For some of these candidates it might be a blessing that it's on a channel no one gets or has ever heard of.

I agree but we all know why they invite so many. It is to distract and confuse people and to make sure not to give Ron Paul too much time. Otherwise it would be obvious to even the most brain dead people of all that he is by FAR the smartest candidate on the issues. The MSM is a tool for the elites and they don't want someone who has his own ideas. They want a vacuous status quo puppet.

We should keep all the candidates in at this point. Candidates like Buddy Roemer and Gary Johnson get unfairly excluded because they're non-establishment beliefs, while insiders like Huntsman or (previously) Cain who poll just as low get included. The debates are rigged. They only include Ron Paul because he's got such a dedicated group of followers that they couldn't get away with it.
WE will not be watching, checked and Bloomberg isnt available to us at the subscription level we have with DISH. Oh well, I am sure when we get back from our trip everyone will be more than glad to fill us in and I don't think missing one debate will change our minds much.
The debate tomorrow night is on Bloomberg TV. I had to look up where Bloomberg TV is on my channels. It's Channel 251 in my area. That's like the nosebleed seats of cable TV. I don't think I've ever been that high on the dial. So, my question isn't about desiring to watch the debate, it's about "Do you actually get Bloomberg TV?"
There is a channel finder here. All you have to do is plug in your zip code.
