Some good news coming out of US Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul's exclusion from a Sunday Night Fox News debate. He just got a second invite to appear on the Jay Leno Show Monday night, less than 24 hours before the much ballyhooed New Hampshire primaries. Ron Paul is polling between 10% and 13% in that state, ahead of nearly everyone except Senator John McCain and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. The controversy, which is likely to be brought up during the Jay Leno Show, was so disturbing that the New Hampshire Republican GOP pulled its sponsorship of the debate.
On Saturday the New
Hampshire Republican
party expressed its
disappointment with
the decision to
exclude Mr. Paul and
Representative
Duncan Hunter of
California by
severing its
partnership with
Fox. One angry Ron Paul supporter tells Gambling911.com:
I have deleted Fox
News from my
television. When I
channel surf, I skip
right past it. 45,
46, 47, 49... No
more channel 48. I
don't miss it a bit.

“We
believe that it is
inconsistent with
the first in the
nation primary
tradition to be
excluding candidates
in a pre-primary
setting,” said
Fergus Cullen, chair
of the state G.O.P.
party. “All
candidates
regardless of how
well known they are
or how much money
they’ve raised
should be treated
equally here.”
