U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., today said he will join his Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren in accepting an invitation to debate, as proposed by Vicki Kennedy, the widow of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, as long as certain conditions are met.
More than a week ago, Kennedy invited the two Senate race rivals to go head-to-head in a debate sponsored by the University of Massachusetts Boston and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, which is currently being built.
Warren accepted on June 11 and Monday, Brown's Campaign Manager Jim Barnett, sent Kennedy a letter saying they would accept the invitation if certain conditions were agreed upon.
For starters, Kennedy has to pledge to remain neutral for remainder of the contentious Senate race for the seat held by her husband from 1962 until his death from brain cancer in 2009. While it is not entirely clear what this condition involves, an endorsement of a particular candidate would almost certainly be out of bounds.

That's a bullshit term, to say the least.
And there's another condition which was reported on TV but not here ... that MSNBC not be allowed to broadcast the debate.
