Not in tonight's debate: Nader and Barr

Before John McCain confirmed that he would be at tonight's debate with Barack Obama, two third-party candidates offered to make themselves available: independent Ralph Nader and Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr.

An online survey of 3,339 likely voters conducted in mid-August by Zogby Interactive found 55% supporting Barr's inclusion in the presidential debates, with 46% supporting Nader's inclusion. Below is a recent video from the Nader campaign, edited to imply that McCain and Obama hold similar policy positions.
