April madness


Tickets are available for the Democratic presidential debate on April 27.

The debate will be held at the RBC Center in Raleigh.

A random drawing will determine who receives tickets. To apply for the drawing, visit the N.C. Democratic Party's website.

The debate will be held in partnership with the N.C. Democratic Party, CBS News and N.C. State University. Katie Couric and Bob Schieffer will moderate.

"With 134 delegates at stake, North Carolina is an important state in the Democratic presidential primary," said Jerry Meek, N.C. Democratic Party chairman in a statement. "We're getting deluged with phone calls and e-mails from North Carolinians who want to hear both candidates discuss issues critical to our state.

Barack Obama's campaign still has not agreed to the debate.
