I'm here on the convention floor with the Senator and other staffers. The Senator made the 10% token threshold at 57 tokens necessary to participate in the C-SPAN debate this evening.

Call me if you have inquiries.

Mike has received enough tokens to participate in the debate tonight!

Not sure if Gravel qualified

Not sure if Gravel qualified for the 10% tokens or whatever was necessary for participation in the debate.

Maybe someone officially affiliated with the campaign can verify.

I am just going by the description currently being shown on my digital cable, which lists Gravel and Barr as attending ; )

Can someone please explain

Can someone please explain the requirements to participate in this debate?  According to this article www.southernpoliticalreport.com/storylink_512_394.aspx Mike probably won't be able to participate in the debate?  Why is that so?   

The debate

Submitted on May 24th, 2008 by Sharon

Apparently, the delegation decided that a threshold of 10% of tokens received from the delegates would be used to determine those allowed to participate in the debate. So Mike needs about 90 tokens from the seated delegates to go to the debate. I tried to find out something on Revolution Broadcasting, but no one knew anything yet, and many there are anti-Mike...We can only hope that he can get the tokens he needs!

From the Business Meeting

From the Business Meeting that I was at this morning, there were 572 eligible delegates that were allowed to give tokens.  You had to have 10% *of that number* to participate in the debate.  Therefore, he has met the limit.

so over 58 people gave
