Why hasn't Buddy Roemer been invited to the Republican debates?

I see that he ran as a Democrat in 1988 and changed to republican. I also see that he hasn't been in office since 1992. But I don't understand why he hasn't been invited to the debates. He's a credible candidate and a new poll has him beating Perry in NH.

He is pretty much the only sane one in the lot and that don't cut it with Republicans....Their entire goal is to be even more crazy than the last guy...

It really would be worth while for some national media to look at him and see what he is all about and what his past is like.

He might be the sane one. Since the RepoNazi are sure to try to cheat their candidate into the WH again so it is rather important that their candidate be at least sane in case the Dims stab their voters in the front, like the did in 2002, right after the Nazicons stab us in the back, like they did in 2002.
