August 26, 2008 — After multiple requests from Gloucester resident and Senate candidate Ed O’Reilly, Sen. John Kerry has agreed to a debate before the Sept. 16 election.
Both candidates have accepted an invitation from Jon Keller of WBZ-TV to participate in a debate that will be filmed on Sept. 5 and broadcast on WBZ on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 8:30 a.m. The debate will be 30 minutes, including commercial breaks.
O’Reilly, who has been challenging Kerry to debates for about a month, said he will continue to push for more debates, and wants a live debate that will air on a weeknight.
“This is unbelievable. If this is John Kerry’s idea of democracy, we have a serious problem,” O’Reilly said. “I’m pursuing more.”
