Ron Paul Snub in Fox Debate Angers Chairman of New Hampshire Republican State Committee

While Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul crushed Rudy Giuliani in the Iowa caucuses and has shown better numbers than Fred Thompson in New Hampshire polls the Texas Congressman didn’t receive an invitation to a Republican forum sponsored by Fox News. Both Giuliani and Thompson will be there.

 

The debate, to be held on Sunday, is co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Republican State Committee and they have found themselves the recipient of several angry emails from Paul supporters.

 

Not only are Ron Paul advocates expressing disdain for Fox’s decision to leave the Congressman out, the NHRSC chairman, Fergus Cullen, has called the omission a “terrible precedent.”

 

Fox invited Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Giuliani and Thompson, leaving Paul on the outside. As for the network’s reasoning behind the decision to leave Ron Paul off the invitation list, there simply wasn’t enough space.
