Jon Keller the erstwhile hack/commentator for WBZ News in Boston, has a morning commentary on the radio. Normally either it is extremely banal or it is tilted in one particular direction, usually right.
However this morning's commentary was different. It was about the fourth debate between Brown and Warren. The original debate was scheduled for Tuesday, but was cancelled due to the weather.
However Warren has express a desire to still hold the debate. Brown however feels he should avoid the debate, considering his performance it is probably the smart thing to do.
However to quote Keller,
But it doesn’t feel right to hear that the debate has been cancelled altogether due to inflexibility in Senator Brown’s schedule. I couldn’t get a call back from the Brown campaign to explain their reasoning, but a spokesman told the Herald that the candidate is committed to a statewide bus tour starting Thursday that “simply cannot accommodate a rescheduling of this fourth debate and the planning and preparation that would go into it.”
Rather surprising considering how he tilted the first debate, especially with the first question about Warren's family history.
It’s been three weeks since Brown and Warren last met and many relevant topics remain un-discussed, including fresh developments in the Benghazi fiasco and even the merits of FEMA.
I don’t care if Brown is ten up or ten down in the polls, there’s no better use of his time this final week than participating in one more debate.
Interesting to see him putting this pressure on Brown.
