Hope the field is thinned a bit by then. Perry will be there, I'm sure - hopefully Santorum, Pawlenty, and McCotter are not.

Columbia, SCHmmm. I don't know how significant that one is going to be. No major television coverage, and they don't know what time it will be yet?

Hmmm. I don't know how significant that one is going to be. No major television coverage, and they don't know what time it will be yet?

It's being set up by Jim DeMint so it will get a lot of coverage.

Invitations to Sen. Jim DeMint’s (R-S.C.) presidential candidate forum will only be given to Republican contenders polling at 5 percent support or higher in the RealClearPolitics.com poll average as of Aug. 22, which could lead to the exclusion of some big names.

...

"Until we get the polling, we’re not extending or accepting any invitations," Byars said.

Santorum draws votes from Bachmann, keep him in

And he limited it to people polling over 5% so they could have a longer time to go in depth on issues. Essentially, club for growth wants to grill the candidates on the record.

But I went again just now to the Ronald Reagan library and it still doesn't say how to get tickets. A long time back when it was supposed to be in June or whatever, before they moved it, they said instructions on how to get the tickets would be on the web page. I'll try calling tomorrow.

Oh Politico, great. They can't even report a fair story, they won't treat Ron fairly, fucking fascist filth.
