Campaign Objects to Debate Rule

With the Presidential Debates just hours away, one of the campaigns is objecting to one of the debate rules.

The Kerry campaign is now objecting to the timing lights rule. The timing lights are used to alert the candidate and the viewing audience that a candidate has exceeded the time limit. If you watched any of the primary debates, this was a consistent problem for Kerry. On a couple of occasions, the candidate was stopped by the debate moderator.

The Kerry campaign called for an "emergency" meeting to discuss the issue. The Bush campaign declined to attend saying that the rules had been agreed to and would not change.

I guess Senator Kerry can say, "I agreed to the rules before I objected to them."
