Only reason I noticed the piece is because Ron Paul is mentioned in it:
"A longer wait for the next GOP contenders' debate" by Foon Rhee/Boston Globe December 1, 2007
Once scheduled to go at it again on Tuesday, the Republican presidential contenders will have to wait another two weeks before debating again.
The Iowa Republican Party and Fox News Channel had scheduled a debate Tuesday in Des Moines. It would have been the first GOP face-off in Iowa, where the Jan. 3 caucuses are the first contest of the nomination calendar.
But it was canceled last month after Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney said they would not participate because of scheduling conflicts, a party spokesman said yesterday.
Giuliani and Romney slapped each other around during Wednesday night's CNN/YouTube debate in St. Petersburg, Fla. There were also heated tiffs between Romney and Mike Huckabee on tuition breaks for children of illegal immigrants, between Romney and John McCain on interrogation and torture, and between McCain and Ron Paul on the war in Iraq.
Voters will now have to wait until Dec. 12, when the Des Moines Register, Iowa's major newspaper, hosts a Republican debate.
On the Democratic side, the wait between debates will be even longer.
The Democratic candidates, who last debated Nov. 15 in Las Vegas, were supposed to gather in Los Angeles on Dec. 10, but that debate was canceled after candidates said they would not participate because of the writers' strike. They are now scheduled to debate on Dec. 13, also hosted by the Des Moines Register."
I'll only watch a debate now if Ron Paul is in it.
If not, I don't watch.
I RELY on the BLOGS to tell me what happened!
Why would I want to take up my valuable time eating MSM shit when bloggers will tell me the truth instead!?
