[Jeff Chandler]

“We understand it might be beneath a worldwide celebrity of Barack Obama’s magnitude to appear at town hall meetings alongside John McCain and directly answer questions from the American people, but we hope he’ll reconsider.”

The New Tone is dead. (finally!)

[TennTuxedo]

Obama said that he would debate John McCain any time, any where"

Obama really meant not here, not there, and almost nowhere.

[Beagle8U]

McCain should get a cardboard cut-out of obambi and take it to all his townhall meetings.

[FFranco]

Obama is a coward, McCain is a hero. Obama won’t agree to town hall debates because he knows they favor McCain. What McCain should do is refuse any moderated debates unless Obama agrees to town hall debates.

[Reagan Man]

Obama’s handlers are smart.

They know that appearing in an open forum without scripted questions has no upside for their candidate.

[Thinkin]

I think it would be great if someone started an internet demand to obama ....like the “drill here,drill now” program that worked rather well....

“Debate here...Debate now”

obama is afraid of McCain.......

[demsux]

That’s not the debate that I knew...

[Porterville]

Pretty bad when the machine has to shut up their contender because he is an idiot.

[wastedyears]

That’s racist

Good thinkin’, bambi. Why bother? You already have all the votes you’re gonna need, right? Why reveal how empty the suit is and risk losing those who can think?

[Free ThinkerNY]

Here’s an example of why they don’t want ObamaFraud to face McCain:

Obama lost without a teleprompter -

BOOKMARK

[A message]

I particularly like the synonyms of gutless, jellyfish, scaredy-cat, sissy, wimp and yellowbelly when describing 0bama.

[azsportsterman]

McCain should keep pushing for the townhall style debates, but he should also accept these three. Then, at the first one, when he’s allowed to make his closing statement, he should instead ask for questions from the audience. That’ll blow Obama and the moderator out of the water!

[Red Steel]

Well Obama absolutely sucks at answering surprise questions off the cuff.

Uuuuuh uuhhh uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh uuuuuuuuuhh uuuuuuuuh uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh....

[sofaman]

Exactly correct. Obama's vanity wouldn't allow this to pass. he'd be ebtween a rock and a hard place. If he reacts to this, he risks being seen as a whiner. Or he has to agree to town hall style debates. He could not allow this to slide.

Great idea ...

[afnamvet]

Without a teleprompter, Obama is just plain ignorant. With moderated debates, he answers scripted questions with his cheat sheets. A sock puppet is more electable.

[Liberty 275]

hussein obama is a COWARD. We had another coward in the white house with carter. We don’t need that crap again.
