Just wondering... I heard they were going to be doing this a few days ago due to Nevada's voting date conflicting with New Hampshire.

lol - I would bet they'll be there, but I certainly wont mind if they don't show up.

Same here.. At least, I wouldn't be too sad if Santorum stayed home. It would be funny if he still thinks the boycott is on. :D

Anyways, I'm pretty sure the only reason those guys are complaining is because their campaigns are virtually dead and they can't afford traveling anywhere outside of Iowa or New Hampshire. lol

I saw on Yahoo earlier today that Santorum was, so if that's true, he and huntsman won't be in tomorrow's debate. Gingrich still plans to be though.

I would love it if Ron's camp came out and said that he thinks it's time for the debates to only consider serious candidates polling above 10% and with more than $2M cash on hand. That would narrow it down a bit....

Idk they would probably release a poll with him at 8% and keep gingrich or just keep romneyperrycain.

That's fine with me. It just means that RP will get an extra minute of speaking time.

A whole minute...that's generous. Ron won't know what to do. He'll answer with one or two words again, and they'll say, 'Is that it?"

No need to even go that high... Eliminating candidates averaging less than 5% nationally would eliminate Bachmann, Huntsman and Santorum.

Huntsman was on Morgan show; he is boycotting and playing the NH card to the hilt

And then Ron could respond with "I thought my 30 seconds started when you started asking the question."

Yeah fuck them. That's their loss. It's sad that this seems to be the only way Ron can get more speaking time, but we'll take it.
