I'm talking about the republicans too. There was supposed to be a GOP debate in NH this week but Romney was the only top tier candidate willing to show up so it was cancelled.

That's weak. Not quite as weak as running from an August debate because MoveOn said so, but weak nonetheless.

Of course, Rudy has everything to lose and nothing to gain from a debate this early. Same for McCain. If Romney roughs him up in NH, he could fall to #3 and whatever money he's getting now would effectively dry up.

It was going to be hosted by CNN!

Both McCain and Rudy said they would make the Reagan Library the first debate and accepted Nancy Reagan's invite.

Since the Dems wouldn't do a Fox debate why would the GOP candidates do one for CNN in NH. CNN has done nothing but trash Republicans so why give them a chance at hosting a debate. CNN has never been fair.
