Nader or any others in debates?

I've mentioned this on another thread:

To become a serious presidential candidate, I would say they need to be on the ballot in at least 40 states.  Any candidate who is able to get onto that many ballots should be allocated the same respect and privellages as the Democrats and Republicans, including access to the debates.

That's why I recommend basing it off of how many state ballots they are on.  In order to be a serious contender, you have to have access to at least 40 states.  That would weed out all these one-state candidates.  I'd have to search for the link, but there are over 50 Presidential Candidates so far this year, on numerous parties or as independents.  Imagine the chaos of running a debate with that many people, and then trying to weed out the top 10%.
