Just becasue "they have not been there" is not a good reson. I do not know these candidates, if they are jokers or narcisits with dubious histories. I just know that in a democracy all candidates should be treated equally. I would have to agree with the league of women voters on this one. So, solution, get a longer time limit, or break it down into two segments for the radio broadcast. To not let them debate smacks of elitism and snobbery.
