The un-snubbing: Jason Esteves, Derrick Jackson & Olu Brown get my air time
Jason Esteves, Derrick Jackson & Olu Brown got un-snubbed by me, today on The Ron Show.
The more I let it marinate in my mind, the less sense it made – and the more irresponsible it was, in my opinion – that WXIA-TV (11 Alive) and its NexStar TV partners throughout the state hosted a televised / live-streamed Democratic gubernatorial debate with only half the field in the race. Their flimsy / flawed criteria is so thanks in large part to flawed and sporadic (at best) polling, and it’s not as if they couldn’t have commissioned a fresh poll closer to the debate date themselves.
What makes it so irresponsible is that a) they could fit three more candidates in the studio and b) they may have left out the candidate with the most momentum, right now.
What’s worse: there wasn’t much new to learn about the three (erm) “leading” candidates that would alter the state of the race for either of them.
Well, it made me feel better, anyway, to revisit my conversations with the three snubbed candidates today while peeking in on a few notable moments from last night.

The Stephanie Miller Show
Weekdays at 10am
National morning drive radio and television star Stephanie Miller hosts The Stephanie Miller Show, reaching over six million listeners weekly on satellite and terrestrial radio, simulcast on FreeSpeech TV. A ratings powerhouse who dominated at KABC, KFI, and stations in New York and Chicago, she's been ranked on Talkers Magazine's "Heavy Hundred" for over a decade and won their Woman of the Year Award. Her sold-out Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour became the fastest-selling comedy tour in history, earning three Pollstar nominations and producing America's #1 comedy album. Praised by Rachel Maddow as "the high priestess of excellent liberal talk" and by Carol Burnett as "the Carol Burnett of radio," this Liberal icon—ironically the daughter of Barry Goldwater's 1964 VP running mate—is known as "The Voice of The Resistance."
