CNN cancels Atlanta debate
Everybody cry
Blame it on Mittens and that former newsletter author. CNN’s Political Ticker passes along the network’s statement:
“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,” CNN said in a statement. “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.”
The Atlanta debate, if it were held, would have taken place in downtown’s Rialto Center.
