Elizabeth Warren, Scott Brown To Participate In 4 Televised Debates

Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren will face off against Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) in four televised debates, her campaign announced Wednesday.

"It is of paramount importance that the people of Massachusetts be able to hear from both candidates for U.S. Senate," said Mindy Myers, Warren's campaign manager. "Televised debates will allow voters across the state to hear about the issues from both candidates and see the clear contrast between them."

Warren had formally accepted two debate invitations, one with a consortium of media outlets in Springfield and another with WBZ-TV, a CBS affiliate station in Boston. Earlier this week, Brown challenged her to "three or four debates" in addition to those.

The incumbent senator, who has sought to position himself as an independent through a series of ads, confirmed yesterday through a spokesman that he will be participating in all four debates.

Of course, he'll get points for "bravery" going up against a Harvard Law professor. But when Elizabeth is on fire, she is unbeatable...

And by that I mean, sensible unbiased questions, fair moderation, etc.

They really believe in their policy of trickle down. When presented with facts they just say that not enough of trickle down has been applied. They represent the 1% and will do and say anything to push their agenda.

She is a real hero of mine and the 99%. I can't wait until she calls those fat cat Repuke bankers to her committee in the Senate and expose how they stole our money.
