President Obama has selected Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), who also ran as the Democratic nominee in 2004 against President Bush, to play 2012 Republican candidate Gov. Mitt Romney in mock debates, reports the Washington Post:
Kerry has long been considered one of the Democratic Party’s most skilled debaters, and his performances in more than 25 debates in the 2004 race earned plaudits. Some credited his strong debates against President George W. Bush with tightening the race in the closing weeks of the 2004 campaign.
