NH GOP drops sponsorship of FOX debate
By James Pindell January 5, 2008 11:26 AM
The New Hampshire Republican Party dropped their affiliation with a Republican debate sponsored by Fox News tomorrow night because they have limited the number of candidates that can participate.
“The first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary serves a national purpose by giving all candidates an equal opportunity on a level playing field," said Republican chair Fergus Cullen. "Only in New Hampshire do lesser known, lesser funded underdogs have a fighting chance to establish themselves as national figures."
The Fox debate is excluding Texas Congressman Ron Paul even though he polls higher in New Hampshire and has raised significantly more money, and is campaigning more in New Hampshire than Fred Thompson who is invited.

Of course Obama will win... which. But. NASA! *flops, moans*
I see a great need. Alliance between Chris Dodd, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich... Dodd announces his VP is Paul, Paul announces his running mate is Kucinich, Kucinich gets Dodd. I would walk on broken glass to the polls. No, that doesn't work because then they'd split the votes between them. Hmph.
Hey, who are your top 3 picks, anyway?
