In a statement, CNN announces its line-up for the September 12 Tea Party Express co-sponsored debate in Tampa: Gov. Rick Perry, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Gov. Mitt Romney, Rep. Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, and Jon Huntsman.

The network adds that Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin were invited: "Giuliani declined the debate invitation, while a Palin representative has yet to respond to it."

They also forgot to invite Jimmy McMillan of "Rent is Too Damn High!" fame, or as I like to call him, Black Pirate Santa. He said he's running as a Republican :)

Besides which, the name “Thaddeus McCotter” makes him sound like some old stodgy, antebellum patriarch who has more offspring than original teeth left. Sometimes FReepers totally lose sight of simple marketing realities that are part of an election. You might be in love with a candidate for their principled positions, but most of America looks at the name, the face, the voice, the body language, and makes a snap judgment that can be hard to overcome.

It would be unfair of me to sum up his thoughts, but to disqualify him because of one vote is short sighted. I’m sure all legislators have a few votes they’d like to have back. Pick your favorite President. I’m sure they’d all like to take a few Mulligans as well.
