The debates should start excluding the bottom dwellers: Paul, Tancredo, & Hunter.

The debate should include Giuliani, Thompson, Romney, McCain and Huckabee only.

Perhaps Keyes should move to Florida.

Keyes needs to kick it up a notch.

Can't just show up and claim a spot without doing the hard business of campaigning.

Florida GOP excludes Alan Keyes from Orlando debate

Good! :)

Alan Keyes has a long and storied history of racial hypersensitivity, blaming his inability to win a political contest – against anyone, anywhere, for anything – on a purportedly “racist” media. “The Man” has proven exceptionally successful at keeping Keyes down, causing voters in two states to reject his three races for U.S. Senate by progressively larger margins. Somehow, the vox populi expressed in those returns convinced Keyes to make two ludicrous bids for president of the United States.

KEYES TO THE HIGHWAY

While I am somewhat sympathetic to your view on this, I have to say that these folks could all use a good does of Hunter right up to the primaries. He’s the best guy in the race even if he doesn’t have the name recognition or the votes to get him to the White House.

The more exposure he gets this time around, the better for the party in general. We need more voices like his, not to silence them.

Sorry to be so contrarian on that one point.

Who died and made you the debate moderator?

Paul has more cash on hand & support than McCain and Huckabee. He has more money than even Romney if you don't count the money Romney has loaned to his campaign.

Paul is technically a front-runner and deserves just as much time as Fred and Rudy does. Hunter and Tancredo should remain too.

Hunter has my vote! You don’t have to apologize for supporting the best candidate.

If that were the case, I wouldn't bother to watch another one!

I watch them for Hunter!

Didn’t Keyes picket a debate in 1996? Maybe he should do the same here. But Keyes wasn’t the only one left off the polling data I’m sure. Aren’t there other candidates seeking the nomination that weren’t on the poll list? Keyes should have entered the fray a few months earlier so he could have been included in the poll data and maybe he’d have been at the 1% threshold. Wasn’t he excluded from some other event earlier because he hadn’t entered the fray by a specified time. Seems everyone is out to get the Keyes fellar, poor thing.

LOL....... However I think all the debates should include that Paul fellar just so the public can see what we don’t need.

ROFLMAO! Yeah. Right.

Some people can’t compete in the arena of ideas so they have to cut out candidates who threaten their little dog-n-pony show. Empty suits get away with more rhetoric when there aren’t those to challenge them.

I enjoy having Alan Keyes along to spark up the debates, but he’s flat wrong to complain about not being included. With no rules at all, they’d have to invite Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords.
