A pack of lower-tier Republican presidential candidates may not be allowed to participate in a May 15 debate in South Carolina, according to CNSNews.com.
That's because they don't meet the agreed upon terms set by Fox News and the South Carolina Republican party.
"All of these candidates hover around one percent in most national polls. That's the cutoff point for would-be participants... The network and the state party agreed on the one percent threshold, as well as on the requirements that candidates must have filed papers in South Carolina and paid the proper fees to be a candidate."
So who's in danger of being excluded? Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, and Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS).
