Huntsman, not Romney, will debate Gingrich

Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman accepted an invitation to a ‘Lincoln-Douglas’ style debate with frontrunner Newt Gingrich, in addition to criticizing the ‘telling’ decision by Mitt Romney not to debate Gingrich one-on-one.

“We look forward to discussing the issues that matter to the American people in a serious, substantive debate with Speaker Gingrich later this month,” said Huntsman’s campaign spokesman, Tim Miller. “It is telling that Governor Romney has declined to participate because this substantive format makes it hard for him to hide from his record.”
