North Carolina Democratic Presidential Debate Cancelled: Obama Too Scared?
Posted on April 21, 2008
There will be no debate in North Carolina. The North Carolina Democratic Party are stating logistical problems and time constraints. I’m sure that after Obama’s poor performance in the last debate that he and his supporters are cheering this. Now he doesn’t have to look like a chicken.
The Clinton campaign released this statement in response, from North Carolina State Director Ace Smith:
“It is unfortunate that Senator Obama has chosen to brush off the people of North Carolina by flatly refusing to debate. But we are willing to move forward with another time and location for the debate so that he has no excuse for not participating. Unfortunately, it is becoming clear that Senator Obama simply does not believe that North Carolinians deserve the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates about how they will fix our economy, bring our troops home and provide quality health care for every American.”
Despite pressure from the governor, from the local media, from their own-state campaign, Barack Obama’s advisers refused to accept an invitation to debate in North Carolina because they did not want to give Hillary Clinton any excuse to stay in the race beyond Tuesday, assuming she doesn’t fare that well.
The real/obvious explanation: He can’t afford another beating. Your quote of the day, from the same hypocrites who knocked ABC for not giving them a chance to hear the two sound off on “substantive” issues: “No more debates!”

Who is conducting the debate?? If its ABC, I would wholeheartedly support the CANCELLATION.
Those bastards had a chance to get the candidates talk about issues, but instead, the chose to suck it up to hill & psycho billo’s negative campaigning escapades.
It was shameless and DISGRACEFUL & I rather not have that nonsense play on TV.
why would he debate? Clinton has already lost! She is just hanging out like an ambulance chaser.
Obama no longer has to give her any respect.
She is a poor loser who will do or say anything to win. If she wants to spread her lies she can pay for it using commercials!
Let her spend some of her and Billos 109 million!
