No Debate
No debate. This just came through from state Democratic Party HQ:
RALEIGH -- The North Carolina Democratic Party announced today that it will cancel the proposed Democratic Presidential debate on April 27 due to time constraints and logistical issues associated with such a large, national event.While there was great interest in the debate, there were also growing concerns about what another debate would do to party unity.
The Party would also like to thank North Carolina State University for their hospitality and willingness to host this debate.
Both campaigns have offered North Carolinians additional opportunities to be seen and heard across the state in the coming weeks and months.
In addition, Senators Clinton and Obama have committed to attending our Jefferson-Jackson Dinner on Friday, May 2 in Raleigh.
Tickets are still available by signing up online http://www.ncdp.org/.

Why won't Obama debate again? Must he always have a scripted speech to read from a teleprompter? Is he afraid we will learn more things from his hidden past? We are the 50 United States of America --- not 48! The citizens of Florida and Michigan should be counted. Obama and Hillary need to answer more questions. We don't want to hear their prepared speeches---we want to ask questions and hear them answer spontaneously!
