“It’s no wonder that debates are being cancelled by some of the candidates...they’re not eager to sit under the hot light and endure the rubber hose questioning of the left....”

The dastardly duo are going to be running mates, after each debate they realized just how little they knew in comparison to Newt. Why should they get on a stage, play nicey nice with each other and let Gingrich run circles around them? They aren’t running from the media, they are shutting down Gingrich.

I know that is their primary reason, but they are putting their feet in their mouths in the pressers with Gingrigh no where around.

If you think about it, the Florida debate is where they nailed Gingrich and got ahead of him, so they shouldn't be too worried about him.

It is social issues that are slamming both Romney and Santorum...they have done it to themselves.

Gingrich typically doesn't honor the MSM with an answer, instead, he scolds them for asking silly and gotcha questions. Mitt and Rick actually take the bait and try to bungle through those questions.

Some of it is avoiding given Gingrich a forum, but it all figures in.
