Faced with a debate without so many participants, CNN said that it was throwing in the towel:
"Mitt Romney and Ron Paul told the Georgia Republican Party, Ohio Republican Party and CNN Thursday that they will not participate in the March 1 Republican presidential primary debate. Without full participation of all four candidates, CNN will not move forward with the Super Tuesday debate. However, next week, CNN and the Arizona Republican Party will host all four leading contenders for the GOP nomination. That debate will be held in Mesa, Arizona on February 22 and will be moderated by CNN's John King."

p.s. also the March 5th MSNBC was canceled a few days ago.
There are two debates that are still on the schedule:
February 22nd (CNN)
March 19th (OPB?/?Washington Times)

Maybe they are "pulling out" to show support for the new war on contraception!

I thought he was against that sort of thing.
