CNN has canceled its Georgia debate set for March 1 after Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, two of the four remaining GOP presidential candidates, said they would not participate.
"Without full participation of all four candidates, CNN will not move forward with the Super Tuesday debate," CNN said in a statement. snip
Both CNN and MSNBC have now canceled debates that were set to air just before March 6, which is Super Tuesday. Ten states will hold primaries that day. Georgia has the most delegates at stake on that date, but Massachusetts, Ohio and Oklahoma will host contests as well.

Things are looking up for President Obama, so they had to go to the fringes for issues and talking points. It's not working.

No need to look even dumber by repeating those issues that the majority reject and laugh at.
