The idea that the Kennedy Institute with Brokaw as a moderator would be a neutral debate is ludicrous. I’m no fan of Brown but good for him for not kneeling before the emperor.

Good for Brown! There is NO reason why every debate in America (or ANY debate in America, for that matter) has to be slanted in favor of the Democrats. Are you listening, RNC?

Brown should say he will only debate a real Cherokee.

MSNBC stated they had no knowledge of their involvement. But who elected Vicki to be Rose Kennedy?

Good move by Sen. Brown to decline the farce but let the debates continue...Liawatha vs Real Cherokees.

This isn’t the only “debate,” right? Aren’t there two others?

Extremely clever tactic by Brown to demand a neutral sponsor as a condition to debate.

seems obvious, but look at how Republicans regularly allow themselves to be outmanuvered on debate sponsorship and rules and then get dumped on by supposedly neutral sponsor/moderators.

I'm proud of SENATOR Brown for displaying some backbone. I'm a lot more conservative than he is, but I tip my hat to the gentleman for bucking the powerful and corrupt Democrat machine in Massachusetts. Teddy must be running it from the grave. How else could sane people be convinced to vote for for a blonde Marxist claiming special consideration because she thinks her grandmother's high cheekbones make her a Cherokee?

I could not imagine voting for a Kennedy — any Kennedy, drunk or sober — to participate in the governing of the American people, but Elizabeth Warren? She is so stupid it hurts to hear her speak.

Sounds like slogan potential:

When Warren displays cheekbone, Brown displays Backbone.

Forget Kennedy, he should demand to be allowed to debate clad only in a loincloth

Vikki should count herself lucky that:

1. She was not left to drown by her husband.
2. She was not flown into Long Island Sound by her husband.
3. She was not driven to suicide.
4. Cute babysitters did not visit their home.
