Things continue to heat up in republican presidential race. The latest polls so voters aren’t set on just one candidate yet.
 
There are still some big names out there expected to throw their hats in the race, but things are pretty tight right now.
 
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum is upset, though. Fox News a days announced their rules for their debate later in the year.
 
They said they only are able to take the top 10 candidates, 11 if there’s a tie.
 
A Quinnipiac Poll, if that August was held right now, Santorum wouldn’t even be in the top ten.
 
According to this poll, 20% of registered GOP voters are undecided, and nearly half are split between five candidates. Santorum doesn’t even bring in 1%.
 
It’s very early in the race, but last election cycle, Santorum finished second to the eventual winner, Mitt Romney.
 
According to Santorum, the way Fox News wants to hold their debates isn’t right. He says voters need to hear from each candidate.
 
“This race is about hard-working men and women in the country who feel like this country is not there for them anymore, that no one in political office cares about them and the plight that they’re going through. No one’s talking about the issues important in their lives, and no one is giving them a chance to climb that ladder and live the American Dream again.”
 
CNN, though, is holding their debate in September. Their plans are to divide it into two: the top 10 according to a public polling, the other will be the candidates outside that group.
