Two Republican '08ers Lash Out at Potential Reagan Debate Exclusion March 31, 2007 blogs.abcnews.com ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: Two second-tier Republican presidential hopefuls - former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark., and Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan - lashed out this week at the prospect of being excluded from a frontrunners-only debate which the Ronald Reagan Library is planning to hold on Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2008. "Who died and made you God?" Huckabee asked rhetorically of the debate organizers when queried by ABC News about the Reagan Library's plans to invite only the top two or three Republicans to its Jan. 30, 2008 debate. "They shouldn’t make those decisions until it's down to two or three," he added. Huckabee was not the only second-tier Republican presidential hopeful to raise objections to the prospect of being cut out of a prominent debate at a potentially critical juncture. "That's not very Reaganesque," Brownback told ABC News pointing to the former president's Feb. 23, 1980 debate in Nashua, N.H. where Ronald Reagan said, "I paid for this microphone". Reagan uttered that well-known line after the debate moderator called for Reagan's microphone to be turned off when the future president tried to explain to the audience why Republican candidates other than himself and George H.W. Bush should be included. Reagan's line, which he lifted from a Spencer Tracy movie, garnered goodwill among supporters of candidates who had been excluded from the debate. Melissa Giller, a Reagan Library spokesperson, told ABC News on March 28 that the library was aiming to include only the top two or three Republican presidential hopefuls at its Jan. 30, 2008 frontrunners debate. The library has not yet decided what criteria it will use for deciding debate participants. Given the debate's early date and the stature of the former president's widow, the Reagan Library's front-runners' debate could have a winnowing effect on the Republican presidential field after only Iowa, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and possibly Florida and Michigan have voted. The recently announced Jan. 30, 2008 debate is not the only debate that the Reagan Library is doing this cycle. It will also be hosting a May 3, 2007 debate with all 10 announced Republican presidential hopefuls.
