The latest New York gubernatorial debate was, different to say the least.  This was no traditional debate where the two most favorable candidates face-off one on one about certain issues, but rather all parties with a candidate were represented.  Even this guy from the "Rent is Too Damn High" party, who has a unique personallity, and an "ex-maddam" who is the embodiment for all the reasons not to get botox. 

Other than the strange appearances of a few of the candidates, what is wrong with this open forum style of debate?  It is possible that the best person for the job does not associate with Democrats or Republicans. Shouldn't voters have the right to see all candidates given equal time with the most popular parties so their stance on issues may be heard?  Nowhere in the constitution does it specify the use of a two party system, yet we as a country have legitimized this system.  In regard to election candidates, I believe that all should be presented before the public for voters to draw their own conclusions as to which individual best represents them.  Isn't this basically what democracy is?  And by the way, rent is too damn high, not only in NY!
