I solved the whole food-in-the-keyboard problem by getting a FrogPad, which is a one-handed keyboard. I sits over to the side of my desk (in a much more comfortable position for my arm and wrist), so that as the food slides down my detritus-encrusted chin it just plops onto the now-free real estate in the middle of my desk.
The "bipartisan" (meaning "third parties need not apply") Commission on Presidential Debates says a candidate must be pulling 15% support in national polls in order to appear in the debates. Yet apart from media darling Ralph Nader, third party candidates are almost never mentioned by name in national polls. And the pollsters say they don't mention the third-party candidates because they don't pull enough support in the polls. Catch-22!
Is there anything that the average citizen can do to help break this cycle and get you (and other Thirdsters) into the debates?
