How are we polling in California? (Jan. 30th Debate Requirements)

The three media organizations said candidates will be invited if they place in one of the top four spots in an early-voting state and receive at least 5 percent in either a California survey conducted by the organizers or any one of 10 nationally identified media-sponsored polls in January.

I'm sure we're over it, but does anyone have a link or two, just to make sure?

Having trouble reading? Did you miss the "OR"?

He's been polling above 5% in national polls all this month.

from the link..."Republicans will appear at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley on Jan. 30. Former first lady Nancy Reagan has personally informed candidates that they will be invited if they are front-runners."

Would it not be great if they left guilliani out since he no longer can be thought of as a "frontrunner" =P

I would be willing to speculate that if he does not gain Florida, you might not even see any more of him in this race.

Dr. Paul has already been verified for this debate, the requirements were changed to placing in the top 3 in any race that has already occured. The lineup will be the same as the Florida debate.

He's in, but sadly I'm sure they will ignore him once again. I hope he gets a chance to hand them their asses.

Giuliani has yet to place in the top three. So what happens if Giuliani comes in fourth in Florida?
