End of Primary Debates May Be in Sight
And, just like that, the seemingly endless series of Republican presidential debates may finally be grinding to a halt.
On Thursday, Mitt Romneys campaign announced that they had no plans to participate in a March 1 debate in Atlanta, sponsored by CNN and the Georgia Republican Party. The news was first reported by CBS News/National Journal.
In an e-mail, the Romney campaign said that they were unable to make the debate because of scheduling demands before the series of primaries and caucuses on March 6, known as Super Tuesday.

Do you remember the Abbot and Costello 'who's on first' routine? Even the comic genius that came up with that won't be able to top that debate. Hint; Obama won't even work up a sweat.

(533 posts)I remember feeling the exact same way in 2000. No way Bush can win, Gore will embarrass him in the debates, who could possibly vote for this weasel, etc...

(3,539 posts)get the hell out and vote. If you follow forums inhabited by our 'red footed' friends it's clear. Anyone but Obama. It dosen't matter if the front runner would bring about a theoracratcy. He's not Obama. It doesn't matter that the chosen one's clame to fame was breaking up American compines and selling off the remains to forighen bidders; he's a good buisnes man and he's not Obama.
And yes they can win.
Is that the world you want you're children to grow up in?

(11,519 posts)The Swift Boat BS was absolutely sickening. To tell those kinds of lies about a hero (and the lies only need to put a small doubt in peoples minds to be effective) was despicable, and the assholes who dreamed that up will surely be trying to find lies about President Obama that will give voters a reason to at least momentarily reconsider their choice.

I don't know who coined "the Clown Car" but whoever did should get 72 virgins, hell make that 108 virgins when they get to heaven for calling that pukie crew what it is so quick.
