Scott Brown agrees to four debates with his primary opponents

  America’s Watchtower previously reported that Scott Brown was refusing to debate his primary opponents. You can read that post here if you are so inclined.

  In my opinion this showed the New Hampshire voters that Scott Brown, knowing he is the front-runner and likely to be the target of both opponents during the debate, decided he would be better off avoiding the conflict altogether rather than trying to appeal to the voters he is going to need in the general election. It was the cowardly way out in my opinion.

  He was running his campaign as if he already won the primary and I think this was an unwise decision because the independent voters are already leery of Scott Brown and this only added to their angst with the candidate. 

  Since this story first broke both Bob Smith and Jim Rubens have been hammering Scott Brown for this decision, so much for avoiding the arrows I guess. And he must have been feeling the heat because today we have learned he has finally agreed to four debates before the primary.

  This was the right decision, it is just too bad he had to be dragged into the debates kicking and screaming. Of course it is no wonder why Scott Brown felt he could avoid the debates for he has the big money backers in Washington DC behind him and this is probably going to be too much for his opponents to overcome, but then again we saw what happened to Eric Cantor when he took the voters for granted. Perhaps this played into his decision in the end.
