Debate organizers offered to change the date or move the venue to Chicago ahead of next week’s Illinois primary, but the campaigns didn’t buy it.

The "front-runners" running scared.

Spineless bastards. That's (mostly) all the GOP has left at this point.

They want to deny the spotlight to Gingrich. He makes them look small.

Of course...Romney fired his debate coach and Santorum wants to slither his way out of being exposed or vetted anymore..he has gotten away with many not even knowing his record.

They are cowards

Ricky and Romney know they can just hide behind their campaigns indefinitely.

So Romney and Santorum are both afraid to debate Newt...

I wonder if Obama feels the same way?

Newt should show up and debate Obama in a virtual format

Without Romney, there is no reason for Santorum to debate in Portland, so I have been expecting this.

The Oregon Republican Party is run by idiots. They should have gone ahead as planned. With Newt up there alone, he could get all the time he needed to show up Obama’s lies and schemes to socialize America.

Remember Newt’s plans to follow Obama around the country, appearing at each place after Obama and answering his arguments, just like the Lincoln/Douglas debates.

Do you and your crowd ever get tired of your smears and jeers?????

Front runners running scared?....It just never ends around here!!!!!!

.Rick Santorum was right there with Gingrich in the Alabama forum and did a fabulous job.

After 20 plus debates, if we, the people, haven't heard every issue discussed over, around and sideways, then we haven't been paying attention.

Of course Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum both declined, they are both pretenders and THEY ARE BOTH COWARDS..

I can’t imagine who on earth arranged a debate sponsored by Oregon Public Broadcasting. Presumably Karl Rove and friends. All of these debates have been seriously undermined by the moderators. Even Fox is in the shower with Mitt.

Santorum just got done with a debate the other day.

There have been over 21 debates.

More than usual.

It didn’t help Newt the last time though he performed well.

People are worn with them in the primaries.

Wait until Moderate Mitt or Big Spender Santorum gets on the debate stage with Obama and come out with nothing but a cleaned clock.

Then it will be too late to stop Obama. Four more years of socialism.

Candidates should change their names to Afeared O’Newt for St. Patrick’s Day.

Well, this could be a good thing. RINO-Rom has sharpened his Debate skills and he won the last two Debates. Rick lost the last one badly and Newt was o.k. but he delivered no “knock-out” punch. So, let’s let it play out in townhalls and one-on-one pressing the flesh and looking voters in the eye.
