McCain's 10 town halls.. a money issue?

[Peacetrain]

Since McCain does not have the finances that Obama, I think this 10 town halls proposal of his is a way to get some free publicity, (besides trying to appear he is controlling the tempo of the campaign).. Because the candidate that is behind is always looking for that debate.. to get their face back on the screen

1. Obama should agree to do them...

but only in 50,000 seat arenas.

[kentuck]

2. Good idea!

Yes, we will have all those town halls that you want John but we will have them in a much bigger arena. Agree? Oh, you don't like that idea?? Pray tell! :-)

3. So cruel.

I'm reporting you to senior services.

5. And only in the evenings

If as some have speculated, McCain has "sunset syndrome" where he displays early Alzheimers symptoms in the evening, the contrast with Obama would be even more apparent - Young, vibrant, healthy, inspirational speaker versus ancient, stumbling, ill looking old codger.

10. Man that just plain mean,

keeping Grandpa up past his bed time, LOL, like the idea though.

19. Think of this as a duel - the challenger declares the duel,

the person challenged gets to set the time and choose the weapons.

12. OMG. They would have to be held at 2:00 pm...wait that's naptime,

so, uh, 4 to 6 ish? When do they feed him? That could become an issue as well.

4. The nation will soon learn the meaning of "Pwn"!

[stillcool]

6. I love Town Halls...

as long as the event is open to the public. No more orchestrated, scripted events, and no more ABC.

7. They should do real Lincoln-Douglas debates

One candidate speaks for half an hour, other candidate goes for half an hour, first guy rebuts, and so forth. Obama will swab the decks with McCain.

[Sydnie]

11. They will have to wake McCain to take his rebuttal time

because he won't last through the first half hour much less an hour or more.

[Median Democrat]

8. They Will Start With Obama Girl v. McCain Girl...

I guess it was a matter of time. Here's McCain girls viral video:

13. That was torture! Warn a person! nt

9. The McCain campaign wanted to rent our condo community center or

my spare bedroom

[applegrove]

14. I think too debates are not Obamas strong points. And Rachel Maddow

said that McCain may just need to appear with Obama to attract crowds. That could be true too.

[Bozita]

15. McSame mentioned sharing a plane with Obama. He said nothing about sharing the cost.

[TexasObserver]

16. he has trouble drawing crowds, so they work on having small events.

[Virginia Dare]

18. What would be awesome is if they hold them in a small venue..

say 2,000 people, and then have 20,000 Obama supporters outside screaming and yelling...:kick:

[Johonny]

17. I agree

He's trying a cheap way to get the media coverage that Obama has been receiving.
