Interesting. Marist is right, but I'm not sure of a better way to do this. - ML Aug 3, 11:37 16
- Maybe if they waited until the year of the election the field might thin itself out. - Krusty Aug 3, 12:13 1
  - Technically, isn't that what the Iowa caucus supposed to do -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 12:46
- Hunger Games -- nm - jangles Aug 3, 11:55
- They should have all the candidates sit together at a table and have a calm, respectful discussion on the important issues. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 11:53 1
  - SHOUT SHOUT...let it all out, these are the topics we're talking about, comeon -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 12:52
- Truthfully, having 10 candidates on stage is going to be a cluster. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 3, 11:43 1
  - Yeah. It's unruly enough as-is. - ML Aug 3, 11:47
- Monthly debates to compensate for fluctuating opinions, waiting to debate until closer to primaries, not relying on networks to determine criteria... -- nm - Max Aug 3, 11:43 6
  - There are monthly debates scheduled all the way through Iowa. -- nm - ML Aug 3, 11:46 5
    - I don't really understand Marist's problem. If you don't want people using your poll data, don't make it public. If it's not accurate, don't use #s - Max Aug 3, 11:48 4
      - We both know that when you get down to what number matters here, (top 10) - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:52
      - It's not necessarily a problem with the data, it's just the nature of statistics. -- (edited) - ML Aug 3, 11:50 2
        
        Then the other question is, why do we care about the people who aren't polling in the top 3? Especially if there are monthly debates? -- nm - Max Aug 3, 11:51 1
        
        Because 2012, for example - ML Aug 3, 11:53
- I agree. Though you could just split randomly into 2 groups and have separate debates. - pmb Aug 3, 11:41 1
  - I think the only natural way to separate them out might actually obviate the need for a debate. - emoticripple Aug 3, 11:46
Meanwhile I just saw a poll which listed Trump at 26%, Bush at 12%, Walker 11% etc... -- nm - Diva Aug 3, 11:36
