Democracy Now pieced together an expanded debate by editing in Green Party Candidate Jill Stein and Justice Party Candidate Rocky Anderson. It was a pleasure to hear the truth spoken. Jill Stein is my president. The following is from Democracy Now's website:
Expand the Debate: This Is What Democracy Sounds Like
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
DENVER—A few miles south of the campus arena in the Mile High City where Barack Obama and Mitt Romney met in their first debate, Democracy Now! news hour broke the sound barrier by expanding their gated debate to include two third-party presidential candidates. Dr. Jill Stein, of the Green Party, and Rocky Anderson, of the Justice Party, responded to the same questions put to the major-party candidates, in real time, from their own podiums a little ways down the road. The goal was to open the forum, to bring out voices that are ignored or marginalized by the mainstream media.
(Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson was also invited to participate, but declined.)

"Gated debate." Good one. The article goes on to tell that there was a successful plot to wrest control of the presidential debates away from the League of Women Voters so they could keep third party candidates out. We deserve better.
