So yesterday, the Republican Party of Iowa released, in the name of executive director Chuck Laudner, a statement about the cancellation of a planned debate in December.
Laudner blamed the "frontrunner" Romney campaign for canceling, a rare and unusual rebuke from a state party to a candidate.
The Romney brain trust was rather upset. And late today, the chairman of the Iowa GOP, Ray Hoffmann, apologized.
"DES MOINES -- Yesterday, members of our staff put out a misleading
statement concerning Mitt Romney and the cancellation of the RPI/FOX NEWS debate. We regret this statement."
"The facts are that a number of campaigns had scheduling conflicts, such that the debate could not take place."
Tomorrow's Iowa news, tonight.

Plaudits to you Marc for being one of the few journalists to really burrow into the GOP nomination contest. You're always reporting stuff that can't be found elsewhere.
