Third-party inclusion in the debates might have just gotten a little closer to happening:


While the commission vehemently denies it, Fahrenkopf acknowledged the prevailing sensitivity about political elites obstructing outsiders. He even suggested it might consider giving an inch to a third-party candidate who is close enough to the cutoff point.

The CPD is owned by the Rs and Ds; I'm quite skeptical that they'll allow the Ls to debate, unless they definitely pass the 15% threshold, which could happen.
