    Mitt Romney says in an interview today that he won't participate in Donald Trump's debate later this month. Good move?
    I think it is. So far only Newt and Santorum have said yes.

    decisions like this will only make Mitt Romney more irrelevant poltically. If he really means it, he'll sit on the sidelines while his opponents attack his brand on national TV ...can't really see it

    I really hope Bachmann plays. I can just hear Trump after she twists 5 different questions on 5 different subjects into her standard "I'm the only true conservative running" answer...Trump will be like..."OK, I got it the first time...now for once, will you just answer the damn question that was asked?"

    I'd place the chance of that happening at ~70%.

    Won't matter, she'll just respond "President Obama's going to be a ONE TERM PRESIDENT! "

    Bachman has declined so it'll be Newt, Santorum and the Donald. Santorum called out the decliners and call them hypocrites. Yeah, coming from a christian who love they neighbor unless they are from south of the border or poor.

    The Donald pulls out of the debate. What a hairball.

    http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...bate/?on.cnn=1

    (CNN) – Donald Trump pulled out of the debate he was scheduled to host on Dec. 27 with conservative media organization Newsmax, according to a statement from the real estate mogul.

    Trump, who considered a Republican presidential bid earlier this year, said he will not moderate the event to avoid a conflict of interest stemming from a potential independent presidential bid.

    "It is very important to me that the right Republican candidate be chosen to defeat the failed and very destructive Obama Administration, but if that Republican, in my opinion, is not the right candidate, I am not willing to give up my right to run as an Independent candidate," Trump said in a statement. "Therefore, so that there is no conflict of interest within the Republican Party, I have decided not to be the moderator of the Newsmax debate."

    Republican candidates Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker, and Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, agreed to participate in the debate, but Trump said other candidates declined because of his potential run.

    "I would like to thank Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum for having the courage, conviction, and confidence to immediately accept being a part of the Newsmax debate," Trump said. "I believe this would not only have been the most watched debate, but also the most substantive and interesting debate!"

    Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus took issue last week with Trump's impending role as moderator, calling into question his potential run as an independent and saying he would understand if some 2012 candidates turned down the offer.

    "I think that having a successful businessman serving as a moderator has a lot of value but the issue here is whether the moderator should be a person who is still batting around the idea of running as an independent," Priebus said on Fox News.
