From Primary Source assistant Brian Lawson in the press room:

DURHAM, N.H. -- Manchester resident and four time presidential candidate Robert Haines was removed from the Republican debate's press filing center in Durham.

Wearing a cowboy outfit he was seen giving a thumbs-up as he was forcefully removed from the room.

University of New Hampshire campus security and Durham police initially questioned Haines. When it became apparent that he would not leave, two officers forcefully removed him.

Haines returned to the center about 10 minutes later. He was again escorted outside by security.

He has filed to run as a Republican presidential candidate in New Hampshire since 1996 and he says he intends to this time as well.

Yesterday he sent a press released with the headline "Are there reasons why Robert Haines should not be in the Presidential Debates?"
