Pledges and Rules.

I have already commented at length about the Republican and Democratic party loyalty oaths here in Florida which are for the most part concealed from the voting public, yet we as a democratic society should also be alarmed by the unpublished pledges and presidential debate rules which govern our so-called free and open elections. It seems to me that both of these items should be public records. Learning about a debating rule which a candidate or his campaign insisted on during the three presidential debats may provide valuable insight about that candidate. Witnessing the pledges signed by Betty Castor and Peter Deutsch on the Democrat's side and the pledges signed by Mel Martinez and Bill McCollum on the Republican's side would probably have the effect of the two major parties doing away with the practice. The Sentinel would often report that Castor accused Deutsch or maybe it was visa versa of violating the pledge as would they report the same accusations made by Martinez and McCollum during their primary, yet I never saw that the Sentinel printed these pledges and I have been unable to find them using Google.
