Joe Biden, You Are Invited to CNN's Debate

The debate, which may or may not feature Biden, will be streamed in glorious 3D.

CNN today announced its criteria for Democratic candidates appearing in the first primary debate, making it clear that Vice President Joe Biden is invited to the political parley.

With criteria less discriminating than for its GOP debate, CNN will allow any candidate who has received an average of 1 percent or above in 3 recognized polls between Aug. 1 and Oct. 10.

As things currently stand, that means that candidates Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee are all invited to participate, as well as Biden, who has yet to formally announce whether he intends to run.

CNN also plans to introduce a new feature to this round of political debate: virtual reality.
