Debatable
Okay, this is just getting odd. Here's the latest report on a potential presidential debate in North Carolina from the Associated Press:
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama have both signed off on a Democratic debate in North Carolina. The question now is when.Obama had previously agreed to debate his rival on April 19 in North Carolina. On Thursday, the Clinton campaign said she has agreed to a debate April 27, sponsored by CBS.
North Carolina holds its primary on May 6.
The two candidates have agreed to debate in Philadelphia on April 16, a few days before the Pennsylvania primary on April 22.
The contenders have debated 20 times during the presidential campaign. Their last meetings were in Texas on Feb. 21 and Ohio on Feb. 26 ahead of those states' primaries on March 4. Clinton won both contests.
State Democratic Party chairman Jerry Meek said he has yet to get a response from Obama's campaign, which did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
This here is why political reporters are always friends with the local barkeep.

has anyone read THE RACE by Richard North Patterson? I highly recommend this book if you follow Presidential politics.
