The second debate between U.S. Senate incumbent Scott Brown and Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren is slated for Monday night, Oct. 1, and the meetup promises to be a showdown.

However, Scott's campaign may have pressed the issue too far. A video surfaced this week that reportedly shows …

Incumbent Scott Brown and challenger Elizabeth Warren squared off in their first debate Thursday night.
Republican Senator Scott Brown faced off against Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren Thursday night in a debate televised by WBZ-TV.

Brown countered by noting that Warren's policies would raise …

I thought Warren won the debate, She kept trying to bring answers back to the original question rather than continue on with soap box rhetoric.
