Kucinich Should Be Allowed to Debate, Judge Rules
A Nevada judge has ordered MSNBC to include Representative Dennis Kucinich, a Democratic presidential candidate, in Tuesday night’s debate in Nevada, the Associated Press reports.
The debate was expected to feature Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards.
According to the Associated Press: “Senior Clark County District Court Judge Charles Thompson said if Kucinich is excluded, he’ll issue an injunction stopping the televised debate.â€
In a statement, MSNBC responded: “We disagree with the judge’s decision and are filing an appeal.â€
The Kucinich campaign said it received an invitation to the debate on Jan. 9, only to have the offer revoked two days later by NBC. Mr. Kucinich, widely considered a longshot candidate, was also excluded from an ABC debate in New Hampshire earlier in the month.
Brian Williams, the anchor of “NBC Nightly News,†is scheduled to
moderate. Tim Russert, NBC News’s Washington bureau chief, and the “Today†show co-host Natalie Morales are also expected to pose questions to the candidates. Barring any changes, it will be televised on MSNBC from 9 to 11 p.m. Tuesday.

Interestingly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heights_of_United_States_presidential_candidates
The average height is 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), with a slightly rising trend reflective of the rise in height of the general U.S. population, though some of the tallest Presidents were early.
They leave out many of the shortest. The shortest modern era president was Jimmah Carter at 5'9"
IMHO Americans won't elect a short President. In today's world, short=weak, for the most part.
