Notes from the Right-Wing: McCain-Obama Town Halls

I'm Joeverkill, and these are some notes from the Right-Wing.

From the AP:

John McCain challenged Barack Obama to join him in 10 town hall meetings with voters before the Democratic National Convention in August...
"We need to now sit down and work out a way that we can have these town hall meetings and have a great debate," McCain told reporters Wednesday in Baton Rouge.He credits the more intimate town hall format with his victory in the New Hampshire primary that launched his climb to the GOP nomination. McCain said the style would tell voters more than the typical formal, televised debates.

Am I the only one wondering why McCain is getting all up on the "let's have some debates" horse so early? I wonder if he's got the whole Sunni-Shia thing straight yet. Or if he's bothered to learn anything about the economy since this.

If Obama has the balls to call McCain out on stuff like McCain's relationships with lobbyists, look out, because things could get tough for McCain.

i read about this idea a couple weeks ago and thought it was a great idea. democratically, it's a great way to campaign. more importantly, it's also great because obama's going to completely wipe the floor with mccain.

whether this is fair or not, obama will win every single encounter by sheer charisma. this is not to doubt his abilities in debate and rhetoric, and the inherent strength of his own platform over mccain's, but john mccain would be best served staying away from obama whenever possible.
