At Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate in New Hampshire, former Sen. Mike Gravel and Rep. Dennis Kucinich were placed at the extreme left and right of the stage, respectively, leading many to wonder if the race’s fringe candidates are literally being forced to stand on the fringe of the stage.
Well, there may be something to that theory after all. Yeas & Nays has gotten a sneak peek at the stage positions for tonight’s Republican debate in New Hampshire: Way over on stage left? Rep. Ron Paul (polling at 1 percent). Way over on stage right? Rep. Tom Tancredo (also polling at 1 percent).

Rep. Tom Tancredo
Former Gov. Tommy Thompson
Sen. Sam Brownback
