ABC Feb 6 GOP Debate Criteria - UPDATE: Lineup announced

[cinyc]

Polls recognized bt ABC News is pretty vague.  Theoretically, it gives ABC News the ability to exclude any poll it wants.  Has there been any further clarification of which polls they will accept?

[cinyc]

Again, the caveat of "polls recognized by ABC News" without further definition lets them fudge the polls the way they want them.  The criteria should be more defined than that.

I assume it means polls like their own, or live phone (landline and mobile).

Or it could mean whatever type of polls we think necessary to get Rand Paul and/or Carly Fiorina in or out of the debate.  Nothing is stopping them from manipulating the polls to do that.
