WASHINGTON - Presidential rivals Barack Obama and John McCain have failed to agree on joint town hall appearances.
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said in a statement Friday that he offered to meet McCain in five joint appearances between now and the Nov. 4 election. But only one of those was a town hall meeting.
McCain wanted them to appear together in 10 town hall meetings that would be unscripted with questions from voters in the audience.
Obama preferred one town hall, plus three traditional debates and an in-depth debate on foreign policy.
Well, he's afraid of facing Obama in a debate because he knows he'd lose... That's why he wants the "town hall" meetings, where he can try to steer the questions against Obama and in his favor, though he'd fail miserably anyway. He just knows he'd fail LESS miserably than if he faced Obama in a real debate...
