After the event, talking with reporters, Gingrich said, "All I can tell you is that the average Georgian and the average Ohioan is going to say, 'Wait a minute, they're not willing to come here to debate but they want my vote?'"

Gingrich told an audience of about 400, “... there’s something wrong when someone tries to buy their way to the presidency.”

Darn Vegas and Atlantic City billionaires!

Just kidding.

bawk bawk bawwwk. "He's Everywhere.....He's Everywhere"

Romney, Santo and Rupaul - Chickenmen - they're nowhere near ... a Georgia debate.

I scheduled a debate for March 2nd, but Newt Gingrich won’t even return my calls.

Here we go with the money envy again. How about sticking to the issues, Spkr. Gingrich, which don’t include anti-capitalism from the right!

[Allon]

No offense, but he kind of sounds like the playground bully, crying “chicken”.

This next debate will make 20 debates now between these 4 candidates. I don’t know about you, but do we want to do a debate for all 50 states? Not me!

I don’t remember any candidates pulling out of an Ohio debate. Why would Ohio voters care about some debate in Georgia. They are all debating in Arizona after all — it’s not like the candidates won’t debate Gingrich.

And it’s not like they all signed up for a debate, and then pulled out. The Georgia republican party tried to schedule a debate, it’s too close to super tuesday, and 3 of the candidates have better things to do that week. Maybe if they had scheduled the debate earlier, they’d have gotten all the candidates to participate, like Arizona did.

“A nightstick the size of a telephone pole and the muscle to wield it effortlessly.”

Annoy liberals and the GOP-E,
Vote for Newt & Support Free Republic!

There’s also a debate “scheduled” for March 5th that NONE of the candidates have signed up for yet, so it was cancelled. It was in California, and also suffered from being too close to the Super Tuesday primary.

BTW, I know the “Ohio Republican Party” was also “sponsoring” this debate, but it was in Georgia, not Ohio. And it’s wrong to say anybody “cancelled” an appearance, because the 3 never accepted the invitation.

Hope someone checked out those chicks.
I suspect a “bug” in the wings by the name of BA RAAAAAk!

You would think that they would all want every opportunity to build their case and show their mettle to the public, but they chickened out instead.

I feel cheated as someone who is curious to see the GOP candidates debating with each other.

[Marguerite]

Too “close”? Six days before is “too close”?

Weren’t the debates in South Carolina and Florida even closer? Two days before the primary. And they were ALL present.
