..................."Without disclosing which one, [Texas Party Chair Steve Munisteri] also said that he has received assurances from a major TV outlet to carry the debate if all four candidates will participate. There is still a good possibility that the debate could happen even if Romney decides not to attend, Munisteri said.

"I am disappointed that Gov. Romney has not yet committed to attending an official Republican Party of Texas event," Munisteri said in a statement. "We are the largest Republican state in the nation. Texas Republicans have contributed over $40 million to the Republican National Committee over the last eight years and have given millions of dollars to numerous national candidates including Gov. Romney."

He said he will urge the executive committee meeting this weekend to pass a resolution urging Romney to participate in a debate." Source

I think it’s an excellent idea to whip up another debate. Yay for Texas!

Of course, Mitt is uncommitted at this time. He’s currently on a pedestal with the delegate count and a whole fresh slew of endorsements. Something has to happen between now and then to mess up Mitt’s momentum - actually he doesn’t have any real momentum. Santorum won Louisiana, and all the endorsements and talk of inevitability is just fake momentum for Mitt. The *illusion* of momentum.

It’s not over, folks. And to borrow from Mark Levin: we don’t need a Senator to tell us what to do.

Remember how Reagan took his messages directly to the people? Let the ABR candidates bypass Rove, Morning Joe, and Mitt’s scorched earth, etc., and take it directly to the people, as well.

Let’s see what happens!

Romney will not have secured the nomination by the Texas primary. But, by then, he may be the only candidate to be able to win the nomination on the first ballot.

He should commit to the debate on the proviso that at least one candidate is in the race that can be nominated at the convention (at this time, the only other candidate who can be nominated at the convention is Rick Santorum).

As it is, I think Rick will drop out after the Pennsylvania primary, if not after Wisconsin. He has to win Wisconsin to remain credible; and, then, he has to win Pennsylvania and one or more other state voting on that day.

But, if Santorum wins Wisconsin (which doesn’t matter much in terms of delegates since it isn’t WTA), and then wins not only Pennsylvania but also New Jersey (which is WTA) and does well in New York, or something like that, the nomination would still be ip for grabs in the sense that Romney could be denied a first ballot victory The Texas primary would be meaningful, and the California primary would be crucial.

Romney could have it wrapped up by then, though, right? We need Rick to beat him in Wisconsin to keep this going, but Romney outspending him by huge margins is hurting.

The debate should be held and all of the candidates should participate.

The anchor should be a Republican and conservative and perhaps even a libertarian.

The thrust should be “Kill Obama” every question and every answer should be intended to make a cut and draw Obama blood.

There should be agreement to lay off each other but bring out the long knives to produce the maximum Obama blood and Gore.

At the end, Obama should be cut to ribbons and politically in extremis. The MSM should be apoplectic with rage at the total absence of fairness that would allow such a grisly spectacle to occur on TV

Everybody should contact the Romney campaign and urge Mitt to avoid the Texas debate at all costs! Plenty of good solid reasons for him to avoid it.

Then Texans can return the compliment and avoid his name at the polls. And if Romney doesn’t win in Texas, the argument against his nomination is strengthened. He should go to the convention as lame as possible, if he has to go at all.

Mitt Romney is the pink slime of American politics.
