Republicans pull plug on CNN debate

I am so glad that this debate was cancelled. I am not real sure what else these candidates can say to convince their base that they can beat President Obama. A lot of the rhetoric that they speak is quite irritating to me because it is full of lies. These candidates are running scared on real issues and making up issues to scare people. I am ready for the debates with President Obama, so we can tell who has real leadership skills.

The Republican presidential candidates are finally drawing a line on debates.

Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum decided to skip the March 1 debate that was to be co-hosted by CNN and the Georgia and Ohio state Republican parties, their campaigns confirmed Thursday.

CNN decided to cancel the debate after being left with a single confirmation, Newt Gingrich, who would have been left to square off solo with moderator John King. Gingrich’s camp is unlikely to be happy with the turn of events as the former House speaker has used the nationally televised spectacles to savage the media and twice revive his lagging campaign.

Oregon Public Broadcasting spokeswoman Carol Howard confirmed to POLITICO that the network and its partners still intend to go ahead with a GOP debate scheduled for March 19 in Portland, Ore. OPB will co-host that debate with PBS, NPR and The Washington Times.
