All the candidates should be given equal time.

Here's how you give the candidates equal time at the debates: take turns in sequential order. How hard is that? The people in charge of the debates have no excuse what they did to Kucinich, Gravel, and what they are doing to Ron Paul. Huckabee and Edwards did not get enough time, but they were not excluded from the debates like Kucinich, Gravel, and Dr. Paul. Ralph Nader was excluded from the general election debates because he "wasn't a viable candidate" yet Democrats blamed him for losing the election because he "stole votes."

The way the media justifies how they give more time to the people they like is poor journalism. In their opinion x candidate is going to win, so z candidate will not get as much coverage, therefore people will not know as much about them, and will not get as many votes.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

A huge reason Ron Paul is so popular "on the internet" is because the internet is not controlled as much as TV. When was the last time you broadcast on cable access? I was in a really shitty cable access show back in the day, but now I have a Ron Paul video on youtube with over 40,000 views. Not to brag, but my point is that on the internet, people can take time, and find out the information they want.

They can control what they see, read, and the videos and shows they watch. With TV, all you can control is the channel selector, and the TV channel you are viewing is completely in control of the rest.

So many people I know from Libertarians, to Democrats, to Greens, and old diehard Republicans are voting for Ron Paul. My wife is registering to vote for the first time to vote for him.

Nader and Ron Paul both for legalization, both for the people, and against corporations influencing the government. The media successfully shut Nader down. They are trying to do the same to Ron Paul, but too many of their viewers know about him, are voting for him, and want to see him in the debates.
