March 23, 2008, 9:36 am No Response From Clinton By Julie Bosman When two more Democratic debates were announced this month, both Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama quickly accepted the invitation to meet in Pennsylvania on April 16. But Mrs. Clinton, unlike Mr. Obama, has not yet agreed to participate in a North Carolina debate on April 19. That debate, sponsored by CBS News, would be the first opportunity for Katie Couric to perform hosting duties. And if it happens, it will highlight the importance of North Carolina, whose primary will be held May 6. Mr. Obama is favored to win there. Phil Singer, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, hedged when asked about the debate in a conference call with reporters Friday, blaming a “scheduling conflict” and promising an answer in “a couple of weeks.” The two candidates have tangled over debates before, most heatedly in Wisconsin, where Mr. Obama declined an invitation to debate Mrs. Clinton. She pushed him to participate in television commercials and on the campaign trail, saying, “The people of Wisconsin deserve a debate.” At the time, Bill Burton, a spokesman for Mr. Obama, called her attacks “the same old Washington games.” On Friday, Mr. Burton declined to speculate on why Mrs. Clinton had not agreed to the North Carolina debate, saying only, “Maybe she likes the Jersey Shore more than the Outer Banks.”
