But maybe they ought. Following MDR boss Korrie Wenzel's decision to exclude Independent B. Thomas Marking from the U.S. House candidates' debate at the Corn Palace Festival on August 28, I posted the following online poll:
Should SD media include Independent candidate for U.S. House B. Thomas Marking in live public debates with candidates Stephanie Herseth Sandlin and Kristi Noem?
Your responses, dear readers:
- Yes: 115 (78%)
- No: 32 (22%)
A few potential interpretations of these numbers:
- Those darned liberals reading the Madville Times just want Marking on stage to confuse and split the anti-incumbent vote (hey, not that I'd mind).
- Voters want to see if Marking will dare the same zingers face-to-face with the big dogs as he's willing to lob on YouTube.
- (I like this one best): Voters want every candidate, regardless of party, to have a fair chance to make their pitch to the electorate.
Isn't the owner of the Mitchell rag the same guy that pushed the blog control bills?

Rep. Noel Hamiel of Mitchell used to be the MDR publisher. He was a prime sponsor of the blog control acts.
