GOP Candidates Debating The Portland Debate

[sailingaway]

I disagree. It's time on the TV. And PBS crowed to boot. Paul will look better to PBS viewers than Gingrich.

Well, that is true. To the extent there IS a 'PBS crowd'.

I don't think Dr. Paul should miss an opportunity to get his message out....he should definitely do this debate.

I like PBS more than any network on TV, but I guess that's not saying a whole lot.

I don't think Dr. Paul should miss an opportunity to get his message out....he should definitely do this debate.

He already did...he canceled the March 1 and March 5 debates.

I think if Newt and Rick agree, Dr.Paul should certainly do this.
in fact even if its just Newt, he could still debate, he needs to make some points, people are almost forgetting he is still in the race.

If everyone is giving their 2 cents, that would be at least 1 dollar by now, why not use that dollar and send letter to official campaign and ask them to be part of that debate? No communication....

 

[EBounding]

Questions are not important. Answers are. He'll do all right if he shows up.

The problem though is he actually answers the questions that are asked, unlike Romney who can flat out ignore a question and answer however he wants.

But yeah, he should go anyway just to prove he's still in the race. I just don't think it's going to help him get anywhere.

Campaign folks will read this.

 

[Barrex]

Campaign folks will read this.

How do you know?Someone sent them email or we are hoping that official campaign members are reading all threads on this forum?

We already know campaign people read the forum and they listen often.

Not reliable. Your sentence would be more accurate if it was:

Campaign folks will probably read this.

Debate has been cancelled.

Oregon Republican Party Chairman Allen announced today that the Oregon Republican Presidential Debate has been cancelled because commitments were not received by all candidates.

“At this point in the race, there has been a shift in the flow of the campaigns from the debate environment to a strategic state-by-state approach,” said Chairman Alley. “It is clear that the Republican Presidential Campaign has entered a new phase where the candidates do not want to debate each other,” Chairman Alley continued.

Two previously scheduled debates were also cancelled in the last month, one in Atlanta and the other at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California.

"We greatly value the partnership between Oregon Public Broadcasting, The Washington Times, along with PBS, NPR and a wide variety of broadcast partners, which would have broadcast this Debate worldwide. We hope to work together with these superb partners at sometime in the future,” Chairman Alley concluded.

[sailingaway]

Yay campaign!

it may not have been up to htem. Santorum said no, previously.

 

[realtonygoodwin]

Bummer. Several people have commented to me that they thought Paul wasn't in the race anymore.
