Keyes Excluded from Michigan Presidential Debate

Salem-News: In the wake of the exclusion of presidential candidate Alan Keyes from next week's Dearborn, Michigan, Presidential Debate, conservative leaders in the Wolverine State today criticized Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis, whose neutrality in the presidential race has been repeatedly called into question. . . . "I think it is shameful that someone with Dr. Alan Keyes' experience in government and credentials in the conservative movement is being kept out of the debate," said Judy Zabik, Genesee County Republican Party Board member. "Voters in Michigan and across the country deserve to hear what this man has to say about where this country is and where it's going. He brings a principled, moral perspective to this race that nobody else brings." . . . [Read More] ARRA Comment: If Michigan GOP is going to let any of the lower tier candidates debate ( many with less than 2% in the polls), then let Alan Keyes debate. I would bet that if Newt had declared himself a candidate, Michigan's chairman would have found away to let him attend the debate. The Michigan Republican Party should be ashamed of Chairman Saul Anuzis potential incompetence, posiible bias toward certain candidates, and possible racial prejudice -- there is no room in the GOP for any of these traits!
