CBS Democratic Debate Officially Cancelled

Yay!
we don't need any more debates.
Breaking: CBS' hopes for a primary debate, have been officially dashed. The North Carolina Democratic party announced they are canceling plans for Sunday's debate because they could not get a commitment from Sen. Barack Obama. The face-off was to be moderated by Katie Couric and Bob Schieffer with a plum spot after 60 Minutes.

"I'm disappointed, we all are," CBS News Senior VP of news coverage Paul Friedman tells TVNewser. CBS has been negotiating for the debate since March 4. "It's been very frustrating, between the choice of venue and the time," Friedman said.
