Wake Forest Wants Debate
If Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton debate in North Carolina, Wake Forest University wants it to be in Winston-Salem.
The university has told the N.C. Democratic Party that it would like to host a debate before the May 6 Democratic primary, a university spokesman said last week. No debate has been scheduled in North Carolina yet — Obama has agreed to one proposed by CBS News on April 19, but Clinton has not accepted the offer. If she does, the debate would be moderated by Katie Couric. But the location is uncertain, and Wake Forest believes its sprawling Wait Chapel (pictured above) would be a perfect setting.
Wake Forest has been the site of presidential debates before. In 2000, George W. Bush and Al Gore faced off there, and in 1988, the university hosted George Bush Sr. against Michael Dukakis. This year, Wake Forest has been named an alternate site for one of the general-election debates scheduled for the fall.
