So it was truly weird that the moderators ignored her in favor of hopeless cause (and liberal favorite) Jon Huntsman.

Do they understand the media is in the tank for the Democrats?
Salon is far left.
huntswoman is a democrat, not a republican.
Any dude who calls Santorum an a$$hole is a guy who will be packin’ fudge for fun tonight. Bob
The democrats are the laughable ones, who choose to ignore that Rome is burning in the backdrop.
Mockers, etc.
Read something about that somewhere....
Neglecting Bachmann does help the press create the “narrative” of her impending collapse now that Perry’s in the race.

Nevermind. They know, and they don’t give a rat’s behind how unethical this is.
Romney is stuffed with money and will start blowing it with his usual desperate measures when he knows he cannot get ahead. The Primaries will not be good to him. Perry will blow him out of the water.
Just what we need extremist, 0 whoring, Progressive Fascist at Salon telling us who our Candidate should be
“Governor Palin is in third place.”
In what race?
Palin is not a candidate.
Rep. Bachmann is in fourth or fifth place, usually statistically tied with Rep. Ron Paul.
Bachmann was in 3rd for awhile, but does seem to be dropping into Paul territory. Paul has no chance at all to win, but he has supporters that are willing to keep paying for his vanity bid, Bachmann will not have that luxury.
While the article is written by some detestable left wing Salon hack, it is true that Newt, Cain, and Santorum have no chance at all. Huntsman doesn't either, but he will have establishment/RINO money to keep going for awhile as they desperately hope he can become a contender.
Like they say; no mon, no fun.
My order would be
Santorum
Gingrich
Cain
Bachmann
Giuliani
Huntsman
Paul

Truth is like a crucifix for Perrywinkles.
Salon is code for stupid. But they are so stupid they don’t even understand that. What they do understand is that their toothless Messiah ain’t gonna win and it boggles them to no end; also that what they normally consider to be stupid people will not be voting for Obama... only intelligent people.
The 3rd tier are now just running for Vice President.
After Wednesday's debate, the media will do all they can to keep inviting Ron Paul. Right now, he's the foil for Rick Perry, and they'll invite him because his argument with Rick Perry are good entertainment and sometimes even good civics.
The media will also want to keep inviting Newt Gingrich. While Newt Gingrich has no chance of winning the nomination, he's interesting. He says things that many of the Republican viewers like to hear, so inviting him makes Republican voters more likely to watch the debates. More viewers means more advertising dollars. The contrast between his brilliance and Rick Perry's not-so-brilliance also makes for good TV.
The media will keep inviting Jon Huntsman because he is a foil both for Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. He's not as amusing in his attacks as Ron Paul is, but his approach is closer to what the media wants to see. In addition, Republicans should want to see how Jon Huntsman attacks the candidates who have a chance because Obama will likely use the same attacks in the general election debates.
Michele Bachmann will keep getting invitations because she looks nice and has a loyal following. She didn't do much to keep this debate interesting, but if they hit her with "are you a flake" and "are you submissive to your husband" questions, they can write stories about whatever she says.
Rick Santorum is a serious statesman. Many of us don't agree with all of his positions. Many of us don't think he has enough executive experience to be a good presidential candidate. Even so, he adds to the debate because he knows so much about what has happened in Congress over the past twenty years. Like Newt Gingrich, he makes everyone elevate their game a little bit.
Herman Cain may be the guy that they'd like to be gone next. His campaign peaked a few months ago. He says some good things, but he doesn't say things that are particularly interesting.
Of course, the candidate that the media wants and doesn't want is Sarah Palin. If she gets in the race and comes to the debates, the viewership will go up dramatically. Everyone will want to see what she has to say. The liberals will expect her to say stupid things. They'll then have fits when she shows a good grasp of the issues. They'll still make fun of her, but they'll go crazy when she earns a bit of respect from people in the middle.
