Daily Kos: Elizabeth Warren pushes for rescheduling post-Sandy debate, Scott Brown doubtful.

[geefloyd46]

The final debate of the Massachusetts Senate race was supposed to have been tonight, but yesterday Sen. Scott Brown pulled out of the debate citing the need to focus on Hurricane Sandy, and Elizabeth Warren's campaign shortly thereafter agreed. Brown, however, wanted the debate to be cancelled. Warren believes it should be rescheduled. Here's an emailed statement from her campaign.

"Our focus over the next 48 hours must be on public safety and holding the utilities accountable for restoring power as soon as possible. Elizabeth believes that the final televised debate should occur, and we have contacted the debate organizers and let them know she would be available to participate on Thursday evening."

Brown has not directly ruled it out, but clearly doesn't want to do it, saying it's unnecessary.

1. I hope he chickens out...

I would like to see Liz slap him around some more though.
I would like to see her debate Romney too.That would be comedy gold.

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

2. real men do not chicken out,brown has 48 hours or else n\t

[midnight]

3. Elizabeth could always get a chair prop. if Brown doesn't show up and make her points

with a conclusion indicating that even her opponent seems to not have any objection too...

4. My local sources say Brown has said NO to re-scheduling

WGBH studios in Boston have the whole place set-up... could have held it last night... had power.

They have John King from CNN as debate moderator, standing by.

Brown has said no to Thursday.

The REAL REASON this debate won't happen: every time he debates Warren he goes DOWN in the polls and she comes up more.
