Anyone know if Ron Paul is being excluded again?

Before, they said they invited him for this but the NH forum just didnt have room.

Today I read an article that said it is dependent on a top 5 finish in NH.

The top 5 finish is another word for the Ron Paul rule. When Thompson comes in 6th, they will still invite him, no matter what.

I read an article where RP accepted his invitation, I believe it was a Myrtle Beach newspaper column online. Anyhow this is a really key event for RP, he absolutely cannot let himself be dominated like in the ABC debate in the early going. He is going to have to have a Reaganesque "There you go again" type one liner to put a stop to the snickering and laughing. He needs scalps from the debate preferably in this order, Huckabee, Ghoul, Romney. Seriously, I think if Dr. Paul got firm like he does in the one on one interviews he could make Romney cry on tv which would be priceless.

As bummed as we may be about Iowa and NH, Paul did beat Giuliani in the former by 2.8:1 and Thompson in the latter by 6.3:1, and in both cases was very close to the two people immediately ahead of him. They can't exclude him yet, and they probably won't anytime soon after the uproar over the recent "forum."

But this makes no sense whatsoever? Why are they letting him in SC, but not NH?

Can anyone actually find the 5th-place-or-better-to-debate-in-South-Carolina claim by Fox? That would be AWESOME propaganda if Fox ends up including Thompson. Seriously, that could be a crushing attack.

"To be invited, candidates must have placed in the top 5 positions in the New Hampshire poll -- McCain, Romney, Huckabee, Giuliani and Paul -- or be polling at least 5 percent nationally, such as Thompson."

Never mind. Damn them and their loopholes.

So my question is, if a top 5 finish in NH is needed then why is Fred invited??? The audacity amazes me.

Apparently he is polling at 5% nationally. If they say so.
