Kerry Taps Vernon Jordan for Debate Talks

[kskiska]

WASHINGTON -- Washington powerbroker Vernon Jordan will be the lead negotiator for Democrat John Kerry on the presidential debates.

Jordan, a lawyer, lobbyist and former aide to President Clinton, will represent the Kerry campaign in negotiations with the Bush-Cheney campaign on the terms of this fall's three presidential debates.

In a statement released Monday by the Kerry campaign, Jordan said he was honored to join the team and looked forward to the debates "where the American people will see the clear choice facing them in November between more of the failed Bush record and John Kerry's optimistic plan to build a stronger America."

The first debate is Sept. 30 at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Fla.

I like Jordan. The Repigs made a big mistake calling him to testify at Clinton's impeachment hearings. His autobiography is very impressive.

3. Hopefully he won't agree to pre-determined questions.

That would be boring. I want to see the dumb one have to think on his feet!

that will not happen. Jordan is very shrewd. I love that guy
