North Carolina Debate Cancelled

I rewrote the official statement of the North Carolina Democratic Party:

We regret to inform you that the proposed Democratic Presidential
Debate scheduled for April 27 has been cancelled due to weak
candidates and tough questions 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 tough debate would do to party unity.

We hope your interest in the North Carolina Democratic Party will
not end with the cancellation of the debate.

We will keep your e-mail addresses to make sure you stay loyal to
us and do not vote for John McCain.

Senators Clinton and Obama have offered additional opportunities
to be seen in rock star appearances.

Both candidates have committed to attending our Jefferson-Jackson
Dinner on Friday, May 2 in Raleigh.

Tickets are available by signing up online at www.ncdp.org.

Again, the Party thanks you for your interest in the Democratic
Presidential primary. We hope you will continue to be involved in
local and state politics.

Your voice, your vote does make a difference but we'll end up letting
Party elites make the decision.
