Wake Forest University Seeks NC Primary Debate
Wake Forest University announced Thursday interest in hosting a potential NC primary debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama before the critical May 6th primary.
The Obama campaign originally "accepted" to debate on April 19th, three days before the Pennsylvania primary, but the date has since become fluid. The Hillary Clinton campaign has not commented on participating in a NC Debate.
If Clinton wins "big" in Pennsylvania, as current polling suggest she may not want to break the "momentum" with a high profile debate later that week. There would be political heat, however, as the campaign has called for debates, and more debates, including two high profile political spots that ran in the Wisconsin primary.
If a debate is negotiated with a network host and accepted by Obama, it would be difficult for Clinton to decline without being seen as "writing off" the NC primary.
