I think Obama might ought to take McCain up on the offer of the town halls:
When this election is about the issues and Obama v. McCain, we win, and we win bigtime.

IMHO.

2. I disagree
Town halls are not town halls--more Republicans get in due to connections and the questions are rarely the quality of what a real town hall would be.

4. the main objective for having Obama at townhalls, was to get him off the
campaign trail.

He did the right thing in refusing to get off his message and subject himself to Republican questions

6. Thanks! That makes
total sense and now slimey mccain is using that as the reason he got dirty in his ads because Obama wouldn't do them.

Like I fucking believe that bullshit liar.
