After months of planning, the Oregon Republican Party had to cancel their presidential debate just days before it was scheduled to happen.
The two leading candidates, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, both declined invitations, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting, which was hosting the debate.
Without the front-runners, organizers decided it wasn’t worth holding the debate.
A party spokesman said the campaigns have changed strategies and don’t see the advantage of national debates. He said organizers did their best to make the debate happen, but in the end it wasn’t in the cards.

Yeah...like, for example, looking like twin ignoramuses on stage compared to Newt!
the public is sick of them.
As you can see, Newt Gingrich does not have to drop out.
this is a state debate, read the article... and clean up your language. Do you have a link for the news account of you being appointed spokesman for “the public”? Or are you just always right about everything...everywhere...
It’s really classless for Mitt and Rick to bow out at the last minute after all of the planning.
LOL, you are funny, there has not been any debates scheduled for months that have not already taken place. And you can look up the decline in viewers if you wish. A state debate but they were willing to more it to wherever, sure. No one around here will fall for that.
He is a sore loser trying to make everyone else a loser too.
NEWT DAILIES CHAIN - 03.15.12
Grass and boots oriented - involvement oriented - state oriented – primary - caucus oriented…
Bits and Pieces from across the net – what people are doing and just starting to do. To motivate you. Move you, get you to thinking. Inspire you, or just get you off the couch for a little while. Newt has said his campaign is now a movement campaign, which simply means, he is carrying, once again, the banner of conservatism, this time for a new generation. Get your eyes off the math and the convention, and DO SOMETHING everyday for Newt and his message, our message, and let God do the rest.
03.15.12:
STRATEGY
I recieved from the campaign a letter of strategy for the second half of the campaign, I can assure you with organization and mobilization this nomination can be won by Gingrich, but it is up to us his supporters..We all should be setting our goals and planning our rallies, it is important for the country to visually SEE the people out in force supporting Newt..I urge you all to start rallies this weekend if you did not begin last weekend...it does no need be a large group of people at your rally but it does need to be a consstent show..I know even one or two people standing on a corner can start a movement.. WE need to do this..please organize in your town.
CALIFORNIA
Antelope Valley California and surrounding areas, 2:30 Saturday afternoon (3.17), Rancho vista and 10th west across from the mall on the Jared’s corner..bring Newt signs..homemade are great..this is a Newt rally not a Tea Party rally so please be supportive of our candidate NEWT!
RALLIES STARTED BY AN ARMY OF ONE
Just curious did anyone besides me have a rally this weekend? mine was very tiny, but we will be out again next Saturday holding our Newt signs up ..I hope everyone starts doing this each Saturday, it will grow and we will see a real movement towards Gingrich!
LET BECK HEAR FROM YOU
postings need to be made on Glenn beck and producers Stu FaceBook for Newt air time and Gingrich needs to be treated with respect. Demand it. they have email accounts and Face Book accounts, use them, I do! power in numbers- Beck has scorched earth Newt calling him a progressive the damage must be undone. for ammo go to www.politijim.com he is a Newt supporter read his latest for ammo. Beck is supporting Santorum (the next George Washington) he called him!!! http://www.politijim.com/2012/03/slutss-for-santorum-part-1-truth.htm
SATURDAY MOM AND DAUGHTER RALLY – QUALITY TIME
My daughter and I will be out standing on the most traveled corner in my area today holding Newt signs, hoping that those that pass will feel free to stop and join us, Rome was not built in a day and rallies usually take a few days to become ignited..This will be the first of many more to come, I have invited a few Newt supporters to join me all I can do is hope they will show..from here on out until November thats where I’ll be on Saturdays..with the exception of my gril trip to vegas, but hey even us girls going on our trip can bring our signs and rock vegas that weekend at least for a couple of hours! Lol
Rally update: ok I did my small but powerful rally today, me and my daughter stood on the busiest intersection of our valley for 1 and a half hours holding our Newt signs, got lots of honks and thumbs up, maybe next weekend others will join us...I plan to be out there every Saturday come rain or come shine...even if I am the only one standing there..I feel it is that important...silly as it sounds even one person can make a difference..just wish more felt that way!
POSTCARDS
Newt needs to send postcards outlining his stategies and comparing it to Santorum’s record. That is what Santorum is doing only with lies. The post card reads” The facts..” and then lists that Newt voted for Healthcare mandates, cap and trade, wallstreet, and others. All lies and taken out of context, of course, but nevertheless, people read it, and go vote. Not as many are on facebook as you would think...PLEASE, could someone get the message to him to do this in every state—postcards postcards...I’ll see who I can send the idea to, the director of ourstates......
GET POSTCARDS
Whatever little town you live in, or city or hamlet, you can sit down with your telephone book, online or other, and everyday send 5-10 postcards to people in your town. You can write your own text or get them printed… You may have to incur the costs yourself, but they are manageable. You can also put a little “light” adhesive on them and leave them on a porch rail, banister, apartment lobby – don’t go near the mailboxes themselves, that is a no-no.
Vista Prints is a well-know site to all Tea party and grassroots orgs – and you can take advantage of a lot of their freebies.. .they are of good quality..

Quote of the Day:
Newt represents redemption... He was repentant before God for his sins... As a Christian, that’s gold to me... If it’s not to you, then you don’t know the Bible... and nor maybe the Author... ~ Tennessee Nana, Free Republic, 03.13.12
Looks like Mitt and Rick are best buds now and have lots of things in common...
Yes. Sick of debates like the rest of America. 21 is way more than enough. You don’t know the candidates by now, you must be pretty stupid.
I hope everyone starts doing this each Saturday, it will grow and we will see a real movement towards Gingrich!
First it was South Carolina that was going to begin Newt’s rise and then it was Super Tuesday, then it was Alabama and Mississippi, mumblings of Illinois and now California. Which is it? Maybe it will be Utah.
Cowards!
It's getting to look more and more like another four.
Maybe if you can't say something positive, you should STFU. Just a thought...
I support Newt, but what you say is accurate.
Enough with the debates already! Anyone with me on this?
The debate I am waiting for has a sweating and nervous Obama on one side and [fill in your favorite] on the other.
How timely. I'm listening to the replay of Mark Levin criticizing "weak and ineffective candidates" who "whine that their opposition should get out of the race."
These two stuffed shirts are making a mockery of us.
