Democrat John Kerry on Thursday accepted an independent commission's schedule for three presidential debates and one vice presidential showdown.
"These commission debates have become an important tradition in presidential campaigns and voters depend on them to help inform their choice," Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said in a statement.
The second debate, on Oct. 8, 2004, would be a town hall-style format at Washington University in St. Louis where undecided voters question the candidates on any issue.
