NH REPUBLICANS: DON’T LIMIT DEBATE PARTICIPANTS

CONCORD – New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Fergus Cullen releases the following statement regarding primary weekend debates:

“Limiting the number of candidates who are invited to participate in debates is not consistent with the tradition of the first in the nation primary. The level playing field requires that all candidates be given an equal opportunity to participate – not just a select few determined by the media prior to any votes being cast.”

“Therefore, the New Hampshire Republican Party calls upon all media organizations planning pre-primary debates or forums for both parties to include all recognized major candidates in their events.”

“The New Hampshire Republican Party has notified FOX News of our position, and we are in ongoing discussions with FOX News about having as many candidates as possible participate in the forum scheduled for January 6.”

Jan. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Presidential candidate Ron Paul raised almost $20 million for his campaign in the last three months, potentially outpacing every one of his Republican rivals and putting his fundraising in league with Hillary Clinton's.

Paul, a U.S. representative from Texas, raised at least $19.5 million, according to a statement posted on his Web site. His campaign said today that he originally aimed to raise $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

The take puts Paul on par with the top fundraisers in the Democratic Party, who outpaced Republicans last year. The campaign of New York Senator Clinton yesterday said she raised more than $100 million for the year, meaning she brought in at least $20 million in the fourth quarter.

We'll see if the momentum keeps up.

You're a supporter, Toadman?

[Toadman]

I'm warming up to Dr. Paul the more I listen and read(his books also), understanding the fervor and passion of his followers(who amazingly cross ALL party lines and ideologies). I've never donated to any political candidate but I'm this close to reaching into my back pocket. I don't agree with several issues but overall I think he's extremely viable, genuine, can't be bought and should be taken seriously by the media.

There's a lot of disaffected current party members and newly-registered college voters who can make a pretty big dent.

I hear you on that. I put in $10, which is the only - and probably last - donation I'll give to a politico.

Rep. Ron Paul, R-TX, joins the 1st hour of the show, live with Ed "Big Eddie" Shultz to talk about his run for President.
BTW, toadman, if there is a chance you may vote for him, then you really need to send $$. I wouldn't/couldn't vote for him but I donated to his campaign more out of a desire to send the neo-cons a message than anything else.

I recommend not sending Dr. Paul money, but instead finding something you can sponsor that's outside the political fundraising process - such as the blimp, or something more grass roots. While I agree that mainstream coverage is needed, I feel that Dr. Paul has received sufficient funds to break records, make some headlines, and provide a great deal of services and advertising for his campaign. I hate to see him get too much in contributions only to turn around and give so much of it back to the MSM that has betrayed us all. Our time and our voices are the greatest contributions we can make - after all, it's the message that needs to be spread, not further support of the system that is dead set on inhibiting our core of liberties through vile acts of dishonesty and corruption.

Writes Joe Schembrie: "Here is the unedited Youtube of Ron Paul's remarks on evolution.

"Here is the highly-edited version that is referenced by Andrew Sullivan's blog.

"Here is a transcript, with the deleted words bracketed:

"'Well, at first I thought it was a very inappropriate question, you know, for the presidency to be decided on a scientific matter, and I think it's a theory, a theory of evolution, and I don't accept it, you know, as a theory, but I think [it probably doesn't bother me.

I think] the Creator that I know created us, everyone of us, and created the universe, and the precise time and manner, I just don't think we're at the point where anybody has absolute proof on either side. [So I just don't...if that were the only issue, quite frankly, I would think it's an interesting discussion, I think it's a theological discussion, and I think it's fine, and we can have our...if that were the issue of the day, I wouldn't be running for public office.']

"As you can see, half of RP's words were censored. His real message was, 'We're fighting for freedom and can't afford to be split over a debate about fossils.'"

Here is a live video feed of the Veterans for Paul rally in Des Moines. They're setting up now. Coverage starts at 6:00 PM CT tonight. The actual rally is at 7:00 PM CT.

This campaign continues to set trends.
