I found this article from the Muscatine Journal which reaches out to the local crowd about the exclusion of Ron Paul from the upcoming Iowans for Tax Relief debate. This topic has been the subject of much debate across the Internet as Ron Paul supporters are upset that their candidate was not, and will not be, invited.
Reports are surfacing that fans of Dr. Paul have been flooding the phones for at least two of the organizations co-sponsoring the debate; Iowans for Tax Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance. It has also been noted that one of the individuals involved in blocking Paul, Ed Failor, is a Senior Advisor for the McCain campaign.
Paul’s campaign manager Lew Moore contacted Iowans for Tax Relief’s executive vice president, Ed Failor Jr. of Muscatine, on Tuesday to see whether the campaign had misplaced or overlooked an invitation.
“To our shock, Mr. Failor told us Dr. Paul was not invited; he was not going to be invited; and he would not be allowed to participate. And when asked why, Mr. Failor refused to explain. The call ended,” Snyder wrote in a post on Paul’s campaign Web site.
Failor could not be reached by the Muscatine Journal Wednesday for comment, and a message left at his office was not immediately returned."
