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.
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.

Huh? Technically a frontrunner? Under what technical definition?
Here is a list of the most recent polling data on Ron Paul (for October 12th-14th).
- CNN has Paul 7th with 2% ... margin of error of 5%. (beating Tancredo and Brownback)
- Gallup has Paul 6th with 5% (beating Hunter, Tancredo and Brownback) ... margin of error of 5%.
- Reuters has Paul at 6th with 3% ... MOA 5%. (beating Hunter, Tancredo, Brownback).
- American Reasearch Group has Paul 7th with 2% (beating Tancredo and Brownback)
- FoxNews has Paul 7th with 2% ... moa 5% (beating Hunter and Tancredo ... LOSING to Brownback).
- NBC has Paul 6th with 2%.
- ABCNews has Paul 7th with 3%.
In each of these cases, Paul is 6th or 7th in a field of 9 or 10 candidates (depending on whether Keyes or Gingrich is included). Mike Huckabee is polling at double or triple the support of Ron Paul. Thompson and Giuliani, the true frontrunners, are polling at 5 to 10 TIMES the support of Ron Paul.
He’s not polling above the margin of error in ANY poll ... and he’s not close to any of the true frontrunners. Ron Paul’s not even polling in the top 2/3 of Republican candidates. He is simply not a frontrunner under any reasonable definition of the term.
