(No MSNBC, Vicki Kennedy can’t endorse a candidate)U.S. Sen. Scott Brown has accepted a debate invite at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute with Elizabeth Warren, but with two conditions attached, his campaign announced this afternoon.

First, the Brown camp wants Vicki Kennedy to pledge neutrality in the race and not endorse either Brown or Warren.

Second, Brown wants only local media to sponsor the event, not MSNBC, but Brown has approved Tom Brokaw as moderator.

Are the people over there really going to vote for that women? Do they really want a known lier as their Senator?

Could we possibly be getting smarter when it comes to whoever is hosting and moderating these debates? Somehow I doubt Brokaw will lower himself to moderating this while only the local media is sponsoring the debate

3. Brown is allowed to debate dressed only in ceremonial headdress and loincloth

A question for Ms. Warren:

Have your adult children used the Native American designation on applications for college, grad school, scholarships, or job applications?

4. A token GOP loyalist or better yet, Conservative should be invited for laughs?

The only difference between Warren and Brown is that one claims to be a Republican.

Too bad they both cannot lose.

She has a D next to her name. Nothing else matters to the brain dead that occupy Mass.

Pretty broad brush you paint with Mort. KMA.

Very similar to the ongoing situation with the final two major candidates for ‘12 POTUS, with Massachusetts RINOS involved in both races. BTW, how long will this ongoing trend of RINOS becoming the final GOP choice for POTUS occur? What’s wrong with, truly, having a small government conservative become the final GOP pick for POTUS?

Truth be told, the man has posed for cameras in less...

Poor negotiating on Scott Brown’s part. I would have agreed to the debate only under the condition that a second debate would be held at the Reagan library with Rush Limbaugh moderating.

Will the language of the debate be English or Cherokee?
