Romney, Thompson RSVP for CNN/YouTube debate; it'll be a full house Nov. 28

The campaign for Mitt Romney told The Buzz today that the former Massachusetts governor will attend the CNN/YouTube debate Nov. 28 in St. Petersburg. Romney had previously not said whether he would participate.

"We look forward to seeing you down there," said Kristy Campbell, a Romney spokesperson. Organizers thought Romney would show up, especially since the date was rescheduled to in part to accommodate his schedule. But folks had been getting a little antsy with the event a month away.

UPDATE: Thompson spokesman Jeff Sadosky says Thompson's in as well. "This is a unique platform to discuss the ideas and issues facing America, and Sen. Thompson is excited to be participating," Sadosky said Friday. Thompson's RSVP gives CNN a full house for the Nov. 28 event.
