Obama knows he is an inferior candidate. He couldn't win a Senate seat without help from the media. He is only staying in the presidential race because the media is covering for his mistakes. If John McCain or Sarah Palin had made a gaff like he did when he said "my Muslim faith" it would have been the lead item on every tv newscast with commentators questioning his fitness for the office.

If they allow teleprompters, maybe he’ll agree.

Hint...The dufus can't think on his feet...That make him unfit to be anything requiring leadership. He doesn't have it.

Watch some of his q&a sessions on cspan and its blatantly obvious why he wants nothing to do with a town hall. He is absolutely clueless and most answers are updated democratic cliches. The guy is truly an empty suit.

SHOW UP AND VOTE!

McCain’s call for 10 town hall style Q&A`s was a master stroke. Too bad McCain didn’t press the issue more and force Obama to agree in principle to a certain number of these meet the public sessions. Obviously, Obama is not good without a well rehearsed script and his teleprompter.

Reminds me of the old joke-why did the chicken avoid the Town Hall debates ?
Because he could.
Flip this to McCain refusing Town Hall debates and it would be the lead story every night for weeks and weeks.
Complete with clucking noises and wing flapping from Brian Williams and his cadre.
If Obama did not have CBS, MoronNBC, NBC, CNN,
ABC, NYT, WaPo ,etc running interference for him every single day-
imagine where he would be today.
I swear Obama could appear naked from the waist down at a campaign rally
and the media would gush that he’s started a new fashion trend.

You’re exactly right. The minute Osama turned him down, McCain should have had commercials out there with the footage of Osama saying “anywhere, anytime”, and then asking, “if he’s afraid to debate McCain now, how’s he going to face these guys later?” At that point the screen could pan to images of Putin, Ahmadinijad and Kim Jong Il.

He cited his “very busy campaign schedule”?! Would a town hall debate be considered part of the campaign?!

McCain can call a Town Hall meeting and invite HUSSEIN, if he doesn’t show, McCain can sit next to Husseins empty chair and take questions from REAL AMERICANS
