The Liberty Papers »Blog Archive » Gary Johnson Excluded from New Hampshire Debate - Stephen Littau, June 4, 2011:

"Of 13 candidates ... invited to participate in the June 13th debate in New Hampshire, ... the 7 participants in the debate will be Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum....

"Not invited to participate: 2 term New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. Johnson did not meet the 'objective criteria' as determined by CNN, WMUR, and the New Hampshire Union Leader....

"Ron Nielson, a blogger for Johnson’s official campaign website writes:

"In the latest Gallup poll, released one week ago, Governor Johnson’s level of support registered at 3% nationally. This is competitive with candidates like Tim Pawlenty and Rick Santorum, both of whom have been invited to participate. In fact, I’m not aware of a poll in which Mr. Santorum has out-polled Governor Johnson nationally.

"Nielson encourages Johnson’s supporters to contact CNN, WMUR, and the Union Leader and urge them to change their minds."
