Kucinich is the only Democratic presidential candidate who qualified for federal matching funds but was excluded by ABC.
The complaint also notes that ABC “is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walt Disney, Co., whose executives have contributed heavily to other Democratic presidential primary candidates, including Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, former Senator John Edwards, and Governor Bill Richardson.�

I believe the Ron Paul campaign has been shut out of the next GOP debate by Fox. That’s also hard to justify, seeing as he’s essentially tied for 3rd place with Rudy.
Ron Paul and Kucinich should take their

Guess there are a lot of saucers flying tonight in the Kucinich kitchen. And plates.
