[jrich4rpaul]

No excuse why he shouldn't be able to attend debates anymore.

Gee, I am so shocked.

Fox will probably use their own poll if they want to exclude him

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

He may be at 10% in every other national poll by December 4th and Fox will still put him at 2%.

 

[MozoVote]

Fox will say "Among our cross section of typical and likely voters, Ron Paul does not exist and has never existed".

 

[MozoVote]

Just looking at the link ... for the campaign headquarters to be citing this, is an indication they are ready to argue their case if FOX creates an obstacle.

Here's a followup thought. What about Tancredo and Hunter? Would FOX keep them out? (I think they should participate, though.)

 

[MRoCkEd]

Surveying 2 people:
Frank: Who here supports Ron Paul? No one. It seems Ron Paul has 0% of the country's support!

 

[Eli]

this was a very smart move on the campaigns part. By making this announcement early it drops all doubt and gives them a great argue point (we made 5% over a month ago).

FOX News officially polls Dr Paul at 4% nationwide. Everywhere else he polls at a minimum of 5%. May not SEEM like much, but 1% of America can amount to quite a few people.....especially since most Paul supporters WILL be voting, and supporters of others will not.

F**K you frank!

they're rigging it so that they can exclude Ron Paul.

Do you have a link? And is this the poll they are going to use to see who can be in the Iowa debate? Thanks

Fark you Frank

If Frank Lutz is managing their polls Ron Paul will be the first candidate in history to draw negative numbers.

 

[Midnight77]

LOL!

I was thinking the same thing.

Fuck You, Frank! (Thanks, Penn and Teller)

 

[FluxCapacitor]

This is the question that I found particularly interesting:

..........................................
RP1A. Would you say you will definitely support that candidate in 2008, or is it possible you would change your mind? (REGISTERED REPUBLICANS WHO CHOSE A CANDIDATE)
Nov. Oct. March

Definitely support 31% 35% 37%
Possible to change mind 68% 64% 62%
```````````````````````

Registered Republicans are becoming less sure of their support for their chosen candidate. They're just ripe to realize that Ron Paul in the only true conservative in the race.

Mm, sounds like a T-shirt idea.

No, i saw it on Fox news today (yes, I do watch it during commercials on CNN)

They didn't even mention him, they just mentioned the others +/-, hell, i was surprised they had his name up there to be honest.

I think they'd be willing to sacrifice Tancredo and Hunter to stick it to Ron Paul...Ron Paul scares them, the others don't.

So when do we get the word on his inclusion (or exclusion) to the debate? Where do we go to find it?
