I just got word that CNN and YouTube are working feverishly at this very moment to salvage the Republican debate by possibly changing the date to accommodate the candidates’ schedules. It’s currently set for Sept. 17 in Florida.
“We’re working with the campaigns to resolve any scheduling issues,” said David Bohrman, CNN senior vice president and Washington bureau chief. Another source confirmed that a date change was possible.
Patrick Ruffini reported earlier that Rudy Giuliani is not opposed to the format, but has a scheduling conflict. I was also told earlier in the day that Mitt Romney is still wavering because of a busy schedule.
Meanwhile, conservative bloggers are uniting to save the debate. There’s more on Hot Air.
