For a while there, the fate of the Republican counterpart to last month’s CNN-YouTube debates among Democratic presidential contenders was looking pretty bleak. But it appears that the event in St. Petersburg, Fla., will, indeed take place–albeit a few months later than planned.

CNN and YouTube on Monday issued a brief press release announcing that the candidates will be invited to take the Mahaffey Theatre’s stage on November 28. As of Sunday night, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani had agreed to show up for the post-Thanksgiving event, but there was no immediate word on the others, a CNN spokeswoman said.

I wonder SaveTheDebate.com had anything to do with this? I’m glad it’s still going on. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad for Ron Paul. If more drop out then he can only be given more time in front of the camera. However, if his message isn’t spread far enough by then people may continue to write him off and unelectable because he is still generally unknown and not actually listen to what he has to say.
