NH GOP: We want Ron Paul in OUR debate. Fox News: don’t care

They’re even threatening to pull their sponsorship of Sunday’s Fox debate. Apparently FoxNews is more concerned about their own hold on power than in bringing new voters to a party that got trounced in the last election. A candidate places in the top 5 in Iowa’s caucus, seems to be the CLEAR frontrunner for the GOP in last quarters fundraising, seems to be the type who would do great in New Hampshire, has the strong support of the states party the debate purportedly is for, and he doesn’t meet Fox’s unspecified ‘criteria’ for inclusion? It really is remarkable. They get trounced in 2006, with bleak prospects for 08, and how do they treat the only candidate who appears to be bringing them new voters, the only candidate who’s showing any signs of grassroots support and enthusiasm? Fox and the GOP power structure would much prefer to be a big fish in a rapidly evaporating pond.
