The problem with that thinking is that the field is so open and so much rides on early primaries that it can go any which way. Two months ago Huckabee was a nobody and now he's the leader or near to it. The state debates should be allow all the candidates in especially in the early states.

I dunno. Having lived in Iowa during a caucus year, I thought it was great to have small states up front, since it forces candidates to deal with voters in person rather than just buying lots of media time/space. The Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary look way, way, way more like democracy than anything that follows them.Originally posted by Edan

That being said, it doesn't always have to be the same two small states up front, although Iowa and NH are both swing states, which makes them especially interesting.
And back on topic: I gotta say, this is the kind of move that will only add fuel to a 3rd-party run by Paul, which should be the last thing the GOP would want. So I heartily approve.

An interesting theory I've heard floating around the net is that the big wigs in the GOP & Fox News doubt Ron Paul's loyalty to the party and are afraid that he might run as an independent. Thus they want to deny him free exposure where ever possible fearing he might leave and take the Buchananites and Libertarians with him.
Ron Paul as an independent would spell doom for any GOP candidate by splitting their base. Even a few percentage points in key states would be enough.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Yep. 3rd party candidates with a hard-core following of zealots never effect the outcome of an election. But don't take my word for it; just ask President Gore.Originally posted by DinoDoc

Alright, that's enough time in Dinodoc's fantasy world. Back on topic:
You'd think that if the GOP was afraid of Ron Paul running as a third party candidate, they'd do less to alienate him. Of course, it's probably hard for them to alter old habits.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.
