[SfN] Fwd: [NaderNews] Fw: [Sacnader] On C-Span: Gore tries to debate Nader on October 20

[Jim Buell]

It seems a debate is brewing among nearly all the presidential contenders. 
Cross yer fingers, folks - Ralph may yet get to share the stage with the 
Bushgore. Hmm, this Tuesday's 'Cross the State for a Real Debate' may turn 
out to be a celebration!
