North Carolina Democratic Presidential Debate CANCELLED
We regret to inform you that the proposed Democratic Presidential Debate scheduled for April 27 has been cancelled due to time constraints and logistical issues associated with such a large, national event.
You have shown tremendous passion and interest in being a part of history as Democrats are poised this year to elect the first female or African-American President. However, there were also growing concerns about what another debate would do to party unity. (emphasis added)
We hope your interest in the North Carolina Democratic Party will not end with the cancellation of the debate.
At last, some democrats with some sense!
What would be even better, would be for the somebody like the Montana Conservation Voters to offer to sponsor a presidential debate here in Montana before the primary here. They could promise no gotcha questions, and just ask questions relevant to the west, like:
1) coal development & energy policy
2) the wilderness debate and roadless designations, restorations issues
3) fire fighting policy
4) endangered species and wildlife issues (wolf, grizzly, bison)
5) National park management
6) tribal issues
7) farm & ranching policy
8) hardrock mining
While maybe not a made-for-primetime national ABCNews gotcha debate special, it would be great for the west. What do we really know about Obama and Clinton's stances on these and other issues?
