CNN/YouTube May Reschedule GOP Debate to Attract Participants

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on July 31, 2007 - 10:58am.

New York - The CNN/YouTube Republican presidential debate may be rescheduled, to accommodate candidates including Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney who have said they can't make the event currently slated for Sept. 17 in Florida, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

So far, only Ron Paul, John McCain and Tommy Thompson have signed on for the debate.

"We're still in discussions with the campaigns to resolve scheduling issues," CNN Washington bureau chief David Borman told THR.

All eight Democratic candidates participated in the first CNN/YouTube debate, largely due to the endorsement of the Democratic National Committee.

Giuliani and Romney are too scared to be in this debate. They can't answer questions that they are not coached on before hand. They can't think for themselves.
