ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf Reports: Congressman Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., arguing that since he won delegates in Wyoming with his 10 percent third place finish in the caucus there today, is crying foul of his exclusion from the ABC News/Facebook and Fox News Debates. Some of Hunter's Republican rivals, who were invited to join both debates, haven’t won any delegates in any state thus far.
In order to encourage supporters to protest his exclusion, the Hunter campaign has distributed the e-mail address of ABC News Political Director, David Chalian. For Fox News, the campaign just circulates the e-mail address available for generic comments.
Hunter will host his own town hall meeting tonight at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester, N.H., alongside his most prominent backer, Chuck Yeager.
Congressman Ron Paul, R-Texas, who is excluded only from the Fox News debate, will also hold his own hall meeting tomorrow evening. Paul’s event will be simulcast on public access and on the Internet (a local network affiliate would sell the airtime but would not put Paul’s program up live).
Good point.
LOL For awhile I’ve been saying challenge them. Nope, he’s playing by the rules. He was told he had to get 5% and is at the door with his ticket. “Let me in”
More voters should see an example of Congressman Hunter in a debate.

Guess they’ll have to find a new reason to exclude him.
Let’s contact ABC and tell them they have egg on their face.
Yep
Duncan should have been in RuPaul’s seat!
Bump that, and done!
Something tells me this will somehow translate into more recognition for Hunter.
This could actually help Hunter get some media attention. Wouldn’t that be ironic? Getting media attention by being ignored by the media?
lol! Thinking alike here.
Well, to be accurate, it appears Hunter won ONE delegate.
Here’s a great idea from Little_GTO:
“Call or email WMUR/ABC ask them where is Duncan Hunter?

I get so sick of hearing about the Huckster or Romney “winning” debates. After all, there’s no scorekeeping in the debates so there can be no clear winner. Anyone who has actually watched Hunter’s performance in the debates can’t honestly say he did anything but great.
Frank Luntz shows his little graphs of when Rootie or Romney speaks but where are his graphs when Hunter speaks? No one can convince me that the media hasn’t played favorites.
“Duncan should have been in RuPaul’s seat!”
Add Rudy to that: Hunter should have two seats.
“This could actually help Hunter get some media attention. Wouldn’t that be ironic? Getting media attention by being ignored by the media?”
Why not!:<)
I just emailed ABC the following.
I am disgusted with your decision to exclude Duncan Hunter from tonight’s debate. He should have been there with the rest of the candidates. Opinion polls do not equate with actual voting. The people have a right to the best information on the candidates. Thanks to your censorship, the voters have been cheated of learning about a fine man, Duncan Hunter.
