Hasn't Ralph Nader <i>already<i> won that "battle of ideas," and haven't The Demopublican candidates conceded defeat by their unconditional refusal to debate with him? And how can a massive Green vote, attracting millions of electors whose disgust with the corrupt Demopublican "process" would otherwise force them to abstain from voting, conceivably be anything but extremely unfavorable to the chance of "electing Republican majorities"?
