Romney to skip the Republican YouTube debate

This from the Washington Post's the Trail blog:

Asked about the format, which featured video questions submitted by the public, Romney said "There is a degree of respectfulness that ought to be associated with the process fo selecting a nominee. From what I've heard, that level of respectfulness was breached."

Romney took special exception to a question about global warming, posed by a snowman in one of the video questions. "I don't know that it makes sense to have people running for president answering questions posed from snowmen."

I agree with Decision '08 that this is a good move. I had the same reaction to the snowman question, and inside I cheered when Joe Biden called the last question asked in the debate "A ridiculous exercise."

So far only McCain, Tommy Thompson, and Ron Paul are scheduled to take part in the debate.
