Site SearchRaleigh, N.C. — Democratic presidential contenders Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been invited to hold a nationally televised debate in North Carolina next month.
Debate host CBS News said Thursday Obama had accepted, and the network was awaiting word on whether Clinton would participate.
"CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric and political correspondent and "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer will moderate the April 19. Its location has yet to be determined.
Clinton and Obama also will debate in Philadelphia on April 16. The Pennsylvania debate, which comes six days before that state's primary, will be hosted by ABC.
North Carolina and Pennsylvania are the last major states to hold primaries, with 188 delegates up from grabs in Pennsylvania and 134 in North Carolina.

Please understand that you have just called (implied as a negative) Obama muslim in the same sentence you complained about the rantings of his Christian minister. Obama is not a Muslim and has not considered himself muslim since he was very young. If you want to imply his conversion was not genuine you can not also claim that he takes stock in the sermons of his former minister (Christian.) You can't have it both ways. Besides that, a reasonable person will come to dismiss both conjectures as Obama is not a Muslim (not that something like that should matter to sane human beings) and the pastor has since been removed from the campaign.
