Unfair and unbalanced ABC and Fox News exclude candidates from debates!

NEW YORK - January 1, 2008 - New Hampshire officials are urging ABC and the Fox News Channel to include more candidates in this weekend's presidential debates.

The roster of participants for ABC's back-to-back, prime-time Republican and Democratic debates Saturday in New Hampshire will be determined after results of Thursday's Iowa caucus become clear.

Meanwhile, unfair and unbalanced Fox News has invited five GOP candidates to a forum on Sunday, leaving Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter on the sidelines.

New Hampshire's Democratic party chairman Ray Buckley says the move to limit the debates goes against New Hampshire's tradition of giving each candidate an equal opportunity to be heard.  State GOP chairman Fergus Cullen agrees. He says the state party has been negotiating with Fox to include more candidates.
