Fiorina slams ABC for debate exclusion, vows to keep fighting to Ohio

GOFFSTOWN, NH — With renewed energy, Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina was in New Hampshire Saturday morning to try and boost her campaign after being refused a spot in tonight's televised debate.

Fiorina and her supporters criticized the media and the Republican National Committee for excluding her from tonight's main stage event. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), who has not officially endorsed any candidate yet, has been vocal about her disapproval of Fiorina's expected absence tonight.
"They would like to basically tell us that votes are less important than polls," said former state representative Marilinda Garcia, who has been endorsing Fiorina since she announced her campaign in May. "In Iowa she beat both governors Christie and Kasich, and she earned just as many delegates as Governor Bush."
