Give Me A Break

There was a good Give Me A Break segment on 20/20 last night. John Stossel goes into presidential debates in general, how they came to be more or less controlled by the two major parties, who lays down the assload of rules and shuts out 3rd party candidates. There is also some comparisons to past debates, a bit of history and more. I thought it was interesting.
