Ha! Dallas station just said that Perry risks being booted from debates

[rainbow4321]

Since he only got 0.7% of the votes in NH!! There were more write-in votes than Perry votes!
Apparently, if he is not in SC's top 4, odds are he will definitely be excluded

1. Not knowing his own policies should have ,But

wouldn't you know it it's all about numbers with them.

2. Before the Iowa caucus and NH primary

the GOP candidates had to have a certain percentage in certain polls to be eligible to participate in the debates.
It makes sense that now they would also use the vote results as a qualifier.
I think that each of the debate sponsors had their own requirements.

The next debate is sponsored by FoxNews,
then CNN
then MSNBC/NBC
then CNNN
etc.

Here's a link to a Chart that lists of all the debates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_republican_debates

p.s. The 'participants' for the January 16, 2012 debate aren't listed yet.

7. Let the Clown Shows continue!

No Cain, No Bachmann, and No Perry would just leave us with babbling Paul, slimey Mittens, sick Santorum, and neutered Newt. It really just wouldn't be that funny, kinda sad actually...

Love the "non-invitee" description in the chart Too funny. Gives me mental images of a repuke trying to get into the building and being turned away!

3. I heard CNN is changing their rules to allow Perry in

typical... money talks

[jberryhill]

4. It would be more boring without him

You really never know what he's going to say.

Neither does he, but he does bring the lulz.

5. I'd rather see Vermin Supreme up there

percentage wise he outpolled Perry LOL

[Tx4obama]

8. Vermin Supreme is running as a DEMOCRATIC presidential candidate. n/t

[SixthSense]

9. So is Jon Huntsman

6. Rick's cool with me as long as he's talking about Vultures. Let him speak!

11. Won't that end up working in his favor?

He'll be denied a venue in which to embarrass himself. It works out well for everybody.
