1. YEAH!

I do have a question tho, How does this affect this article that I read a few months ago?

On that front, one requirement stands out in the DNC's announcement: the committee has asked candidates and participants (that is, the media) to sign an exclusivity pledge. "Any candidate or debate sponsor wishing to participate in DNC debates, must agree to participate exclusively in the DNC-sanctioned process. Any violation would result in forfeiture of the ability to participate in the remainder of the debate process," says a release from the committee.

That, it seems, is an attempt prevent the primary contest from dragging on and hurting the eventual nominee -- but could also limit the amount of exposure lesser-known candidates receive. And O'Malley has already made his disappointment at the limited number of debates known.

I went to the DNC website and found this:

While a six sanctioned debate schedule is consistent with the precedent set by the DNC during the 2004 and 2008 cycles, this year the DNC will further manage the process by implementing an exclusivity requirement. Any candidate or debate sponsor wishing to participate in DNC debates, must agree to participate exclusively in the DNC-sanctioned process. Any violation would result in forfeiture of the ability to participate in the remainder of the debate process.

I guess they won't be on the same stage together… but this is going to be great to see! Metrics!
