A socialist candidate wants in on the debates:

Dan LaBotz of Cincinnati, the Ohio Socialist Party candidate who garnered fewer than 400 votes statewide on Ohio primary day in early May, is calling on the major Titans in the race, Democrat Lee Fisher and Republican Rob Portman, to include him in any scheduled debates.
LaBotz, 65, a former Chicago neighborhood organizer who was a Jack of all trades, so to speak before he became a Cincinnati elementary school teacher, says he’s running for U.S. Senate, as opposed to Ohio governor, because the former seat allows him to talk about a thorn in his side, America’s foreign policy and the two foreign wars the nation is now fighting, that cost blood and treasure every day. …
In an exclusive interview with me this week, Labotz says Portman and Fisher have no program to deal with the unemployment issue, and that action from the Federal government and the State of Ohio is needed now to provide jobs, by turning idle factories into worker and consumer run cooperatives. LaBotz is calling for another and larger stimulus funding bill directed to health, education and public services.
