Wednesday September 13 2:35 PM ET Voters Want Third Party Candidates in Debates UTICA, N.Y. (Reuters/Zogby) - Likely voters agree that third party candidates should participate in the debates, but should be limited to those with higher profiles, a recent Zogby poll shows. The nationwide survey of 1,005 likely voters reveals that a great deal of support is shown for Green Party's Ralph Nader (<http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news?p=Ralph%20Nader&c=&n=10&yn=c>news - http://dir.yahoo.com/Government/U_S__Government/Politics/Parties/Green_Party /2000_Presidential_Candidates/Nader__Ralph/>web sites) (60.9% to 29.0%) and Reform candidate Pat Buchanan (<http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news?p=Pat%20Buchanan&c=&n=10&yn=c>new s - <http://dir.yahoo.com/Government/U_S__Government/Politics/Parties/Reform_Par ty/2000_Presidential_Election/Candidates/Buchanan__Pat/>web sites) (58.7% to 34.2%) to be allowed to participate in the presidential debates. Less support can be seen for Libertarian Harry Browne (44.2% to 39.9%).
