Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum said yes. Two is the minimum you need for a debate, right? And Newt has already shown himself is willing to debate anyone, anytme. So far so good.
Then the Nos starting rolling in.
Jon Huntsman - "This is exactly what is wrong with politics. It’s show business over substance."
Ron Paul - "I didn't know he had the ability to lay on hands and anoint people."
Mitt Romney, to the Donald's particular surprise, and Rick Perry begged off on being just too busy campaigning.
However, the thin-skinned putative billionaire saved his digs for Michele Bachmann:
"She came up to see me four times. She would call me and ask me for advice. She said if she wins, she would like to think about me for the vice presidency. Most importantly, I did a two-hour phone call for her with her people. ... And after all that, she announced she was not going to do the debate. It's called loyalty. How do you do that? It's amazing to me."Can you believe the gall of the pushy broad flirting so brazenly with The Donald and then faking a headache on her own future VP selection and putting the Trump debate on men-o-pause. We will be deprived of what surely would have been an uniquely riveting bit of television.
Update 12/11/2011: Michele Bachmann was asked about saying No to Donald Trump on one of the Sunday shows this morning. "He's a big boy," she said. Ouch.
