In this presdiential election year, there has been a debate as to whether television networks should give the major candidates free television time. Commentator Mickey Edwards believes that it's not only the presidential candidates who need free t.v. time but more importantly the people who are running for Congress who need free t.v. time for debates. Edwards says that if we are to hope for more changes in government, the cost of running for office needs to be pared down.
