If You Can’t Stand the Heat… Get Out of the YouTube Debate
by Pamela LeaveyThe Democratic YouTube debate earlier this week was a hit and it’s created some controversy that has certainly got things heating up as an early rendition of the primaries wars. Apparently the Dem’s Republican counter-parts can’t stand the heat though and they are working on weaseling out of their youTube Debate:
Over the last few hours, I’d been hearing buzz that GOP candidates were going wobbly on the CNN/YouTube debate. I was dismissive. Given the huge earned media hit the Democrats got this week, the fact that even the highly partisan questioners acquitted themselves better than Chris Matthews did in the first debate, and the sponsorship of the powerful Republican Party of Florida, I didn’t think the GOP candidates would make the political mistake of passing up it up.
I was apparently wrong. Rudy Giuliani is unlikely to participate, according to an official source.
And what of the Mittster?…
Republican Mitt Romney isn’t sure yet whether he’ll participate in the CNN/YouTube.com Republican debate in September, but he’s no fan of the format.
What a bunch of wusses!

I wouldn’t blame them, I really hated the format and can’t believe they’re going to try it again with the GOP.
