...Michael Kinsley didn't provide a real "voter's guide" on Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan, as the title of his piece led me to expect [ESSAY, Sept. 25]. The occasional bone thrown by the press to these candidates by actually mentioning their names never includes details about real issues. We hear daily what George W. Bush and Al Gore plan to do if they get to the White House. I want more information on Nader and Buchanan. ROSE M. RUMMEL-EURY Portland...
...Nader and Buchanan are the only serious candidates in this election. The two third-party candidates are running, unlike Gore and Bush, on strong, sincere platforms.

...gonna rant about Lehrer and these debates. (For those of you who missed my commentaries in the other debates, I've found myself yelling at the TV.) The commission should have included Nader and Buchanan in at least one debate. Why? Buchanan's getting $12M in taxpayer monies. We shoulda gotten a chance to see what we bought. Nader's near 5 percent is big enough to merit a place on the stage. Alright, I'm done now. As for Lehrer, his cross-examination ain't doing much to illuminate the differences...
When Green Party candidate Ralph Nader was barred from attending last week's presidential debate, even though he had a ticket, it seemed to symbolize his quixotic quest to gain attention on the national stage. The Commission on Presidential Debates, controlled by the two major parties, had issued orders that Nader not be allowed into the debate, his ticket notwithstanding. Nader, who was not allowed to participate in the debates by the commission, had no choice but to walk away...
