This is not a debate.
I think people are getting confused. Fox is hosting a forum for the GOP candidates minus RP on Jan 6 to be aired in the evening. There is no audience and no tickets. Here is the official statement from the campaign.
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be excluded from an upcoming forum of Republican candidates to be broadcast by Fox News on January 6, 2008.
“Given Ron Paul’s support in New Hampshire and his recent historic fundraising success, it is outrageous that Dr. Paul would be excluded,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “Dr. Paul has consistently polled higher in New Hampshire than some of the other candidates who have been invited.”
Snyder continued, “Paul supporters should know that we are continuing to make inquiries with Fox News as to why they have apparently excluded Dr. Paul from this event.”
WAHOR!!

NH-GOP - It's their call
If the NH - GOP puts its imprimatur on this spectacle, they are giving their approval of this process. It does not matter if Fox ostensibly made the selections.
It's 100% up to the NH-GOP where they put their logo.
The NH-GOP should remove their sponsorship for this. Ron Paul, IIRC, won **ALL** the NH straw polls - yet he's not at the forum? He certainly won the big one in Manchester.
If the NH-GOP does not remove their support, I will make it one of my goals to help throw out the bunch. I live in NH, and I'll be angry.
'jolly
On the ground in NH.
Come on everyone
And let it go already. Please quit picking on Jane also as she doesn't deserve it. She has been doing us all a favor by keeping us informed, so enough already.
DO RUN RON!!!!!
dodobogo
Fer cryin' out loud
Stop riding Jane's a$$ people.
Just drop it
No one is taking the bait anymore and FOX is the one that pulls the strings on debates that they air. I don't know why some people just can't let something go. The Campaign AKA Ron Paul said to stop calling and blaming the GOP. Do your arguing about this in instant messages or a private chatroom if you need to vent.
Just shut up and listen to Dr Paul for a change and move on and quit attacking Jane, she is the one who is spending alot of her time and energy on this website and maybe a Thank You Jane would be nice instead of attacking her.
For example remember when MIchigan was going to exclude Ron Paul
For example remember when MIchigan was going to exclude Ron Paul, it was not the news channel it was the Michigan Republican Party and the Party Chair.
for instance, GOP in Florida and Iowa send out the invites

WHERE IS THE PROOF DR. PAUL WAS INVITED BY NH GOP...
There MUST have been an invitation to the NH Debate issued by GOP - RIGHT, Right... right.... OH JANE.......
I spoke on this earlier.
The NH GOP is sponsoring this forum, they are having FOX broadcast it, and having Chris Mathews host it. From everything I've read, it is the NH GOP who is sponsoring it, and that sounds like the group which has the control.
Chris Wallace not Matthews
Have you seen the contract that outlines who has control over how the candidates are chosen? It 'seems' like to you the NH GOP plays a bigger part in this than they do, when this info is missing...
FOX pays for this, and it costs millions to produce something like a debate. NH GOP has no money behind this; it's simply a GOP debate so their name is on it.
I don't know who sends out the actual invites. If you can find that information out please post it.
Actually I do know, but if I post it, I will simply be called 'neocon scum' by Devil who is inches away from being banned.
So I guess you'll have to dig it up for yourselves from now on. People who shoot the messenger are not worthy of being delivered the information, IMHO.
How DARE you lie about me....
You STALK, You THREATEN, and now you LIE about me...
Where did I call you *neocon scum*???
You are a L-I-A-R
Jane unless NH is different, its the GOP that does the invites
Jane, no other Republican debate so far that had the Republcian party involved received the invites from the company televising it. When people have been excluded it was the state party doing the excluding, wether in Florida, Michigan, Iowa or South Carolina - either the New Hampshire GOP has no control over anything or something is up.
Sorry, Chris Wallace. All I can say is the press release says
They are sponsoring it. To me, that means they are paying for it. They are putting their name on it. If Fox news decided to exclude, Rudy Giuliani, or Mike Huckabee, or Mitt Romney, it would be the New Hampshire Republican Parties responsibility to remove their sponsorship.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The New Hampshire Republican Party is sponsoring a forum for Republican presidential candidates on Jan. 6, two days before the state's first-in-the-nation primary.
The forum, where the candidates will be questioned by Fox New Channel's Chris Wallace, will be held a day after ABC holds back to back Democratic and Republican presidential debates.
"Never underestimate New Hampshire voters' appetite for politics," said Fergus Cullen, the chairman of the state Republican Party.
Participating in the forum will be Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson.
Unlike a debate, the candidates will face questions from Wallace around a table in a studio on the campus of St. Anselm College in Goffstown , N.H. . The 90-minute encounter will air live beginning at 8 p.m. ET on the Fox News Channel and on Fox News Radio.
