O'Malley: Party Bosses Limiting Debate.(WeeklyStandard)

Collects Dem Debate Questions for All Candidates.

Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley is still trying to expand the shrunken Democratic debate schedule. Today his campaign is collecting debate questions to be asked of all candidates.

"Unfortunately, given the limited debate schedule that the DNC has proposed, early voters will have barely any opportunity to have their questions asked before they decide on a candidate. As it stands now, the DNC is only holding 6 debates, and only ONE in Iowa before they caucus, and ONE in New Hampshire before their primary," an O'Malley campaign official writes in an email.

"Compared to previous years, that's unprecedented. That's why we want to give you an opportunity to submit your own questions for the candidates. We'll collect your questions and send them to the DNC along with a note telling them that #WeNeedDebate.

"Here's what's more: we'll answer the most-asked questions of ALL candidates on our website in the next week. That way you'll know exactly where O'Malley stands on the issues.

"I am proud to work for a candidate who is not only willing to tell you his positions well before the primaries, but who is also willing and eager to debate his positions on stage with the other candidates.

"We cannot let party bosses in DC limit the opportunity for voters to have critical questions answered. Submit your question today!"
