WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- The Republican National Committee severed ties with NBC for an upcoming presidential debate, instead choosing to partner with CNN. The RNC's debate committee voted unanimously Monday night to pull out of an arrangement with NBC for the Feb. 25 debate -- scheduled one week before "Super Tuesday," when Republicans in 14 states go to the polls and caucuses. "The Republican National Committee has decided to move forward without NBC's participation in our February debate in Houston, Texas. The RNC has awarded the debate to CNN, who will broadcast it on Thursday, February 25th in Houston at a location to be decided," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement. The decision is a blow to NBC, which hosted the Democratic national debate Sunday.

Have they no shame?
