Hey McCain: How about 9 more of those "Town Hall" debates?
Obama's ready I'm sure...think about how WELL you did last night and what a great format it is for you.

Go get 'em tiger; Senator Tough Guy.

Obama'll even ride on your plane!! You can talk to him at length...wasn't that your original idea?

Yeah, that's the ticket!

1. I don't think Obama is interested
in allowing McCain to dictate how he spends his time on the campaign trail.

That's probably why Obama refused the 'town hall tour' in the first place, it puts him where McCain wants him instead of where he really needs to be.

4. Obama answered this question to a small town reporter.. so, its not
blah, blah, blah.. But Obama was asked why he didn't agree to the townhalls.. He said he sent some staff over to McCain's and tried to arrange something.. The meeting arrangements were insane... something no one could commit to, so Obama figured that McCain was just chicken shit.. and was just squaking to hear himself squak... Since then, Obama's taken the heat from this... But really, it speaks vollumes about Obama's character... Instead of calling him out and showing McCain for a chump, Obama let him keep up the rhetoric.. AND he could have explained the crazy "townhall" arrangements and really showed the campaign as chickens.. but he didn't .. Obama said to them, "but that's not the point, its just silly nonsense. We will have 3 debates coming into the election; I think that the differences and the ideas will be stark, and the American people can decide who they would like as their President.. What they don't want is the tit for tat politics as usual".. It was similar to that..
