The DNC made a statement about thresholds for debates that had me worried but with 5% in NH that should be enough to make sure they can't keep O'Malley out of the debates.

There was a quote from DWS in one of posts here about thresholds still being determined.

There are only 5 actual candidates, so they "all" should be allowed in the debates. 5 people would be ideal to get all of them to actually comment on how they plan to fix the problems we face. I see no reason why they all shouldn't be at the debates.

I am getting a little tired of all the stalling going on though. This shouldn't be that hard to put together and set a date for the first one. I am ready and I want to see "all" of them at the debate.

I really like O'Malley. He is genuine. Still leaning Bernie, but am listening closely.
