It has been disturbing that Harry hasn't had better billing. Because I thought the whole idea of the site was to provide a non-partisan, level playing field for the 7 candidates who have a mathematical chance of winning the election. I'm also puzzled as to why Ralph Nader would continue to rate positioning in Tier 2 with a photo when he has made no effort to participate. Demands upon our staff have increased tremendously as we enter this last week of campaigning. We can't do everything.
Priorities have to be set.
At this point, if Harry is given equal billing at least to Nader and Buchanan, we have determined that it would be worth reallocating some of our scarce resources to participate more actively in WWB through election day. However, if that's not going to happen, I'm afraid we will have to totally withdraw from participation in this project. I had high hopes for this project when it was announced. I thought that the Markle Foundation had identified a way to use the Internet to level the playing field for serious alternative party candidates in a way that the old media just won't do. Instead, the old media mindset has just been transferred to a new media environment.
