Read my tagline. It is coming. Just watch. Even Fox will have a hand in it if they can. I have seen this in too many election cycles, particularly vis a vis Duncan Hunter four years ago, when he was even ahead of either McCain or Huckabee or Giuliani in accumulated convention delegates (from Wyoming as I recall) and they skilfully found a way to shut him out of the debates. They shut out Alan Keyes and he got arrested over it. Cain might be polling lets say, third in some state, and they will try to keep him out of further debates. Where they could not have it as a Romney-Perry dual which was their narrative (because Perry stepped in it one too many times), they would convert it to Romney-Gingrich dynamic, and start excluding the others. It is coming for SURE. They have already printed up the “disinvite” letters for sure, just have not dated them yet. Corrupt system. Blackouts. Fox News is a part of it too. Screw them.

They set rules that only candidates with delegates would participate in their debate. Then they proceeded to exclude Hunter despite his delegates and included media favorites like McCain despite his lack of delegates.

The problem is that few "conservatives" have the moral fiber to stand up for what's right if what's right might cause problems with their chosen candidate.
