Why national polling? National polling is meaningless at this point. In addition, given this is a New Hampshire debate, wouldn't it make more sense to use New Hampshire polls?
If New Hampshire polls are used, the top five (in the RCP average) are: Romney, McCain, Giuliani, Huckabee and Paul.
I would agree that Paul should be in the debate if that is the case. I am not sure an official decision has been made by Fox News yet. At least I haven’t seen one.
