I just flipped on 99.7 here in Nashville to hear Bill O’Reilly’s Radio Factor coming on, and since he’s also a host on the Fox News channel, I figured I’d have a listen. Sure enough, within minutes, he casually addressed the growing discontent about Ron Paul’s exclusion from the upcoming Fox News forum in New Hampshire. (Duncan Hunter isn’t invited either, but apparently no one cares.) O’Reilly said:
 Look, it’s nothing personal, but he just hasn’t cracked 10 percent. He’s not performing.
Alrighty. Not an official set of criteria from Fox, but good to at least hear some reasoning behind the decision. Odd, though, since Dr. Paul is polling ahead of Giuliani in Iowa and pulled in over $20 million in the last quarter, leaving the rest of the GOP candidates in the fund-raising dust.
