Delay the debates...?

[4dmin]

Paul that is changing the subject to swing in your favorite. A debate is a debate. Fact is fact. And fact is McCain has repeatedly asked Obama to debate him prior to this and Obama ignored him. If thats what you want to do as well that's your business. But it is still hypocritical of Obama to say anything about mccain backing out of the debate when he himself did so repeatedly. But of course the media won't say anything about it

FACT KINDA LIKE JESUS RIGHT? ITS COOL YOU WANT TO TALK SH!T W/O POSTING FACTS.

FACT KINDA LIKE JESUS RIGHT?

What the hell are you talking about?

Here you want fact here's a statement from McCain to the International Herald Tribune

"I've asked Senator Obama to join me in town halls across the nation,"

Obama initially seemed enthusiastic about the idea when it was floated by Mark McKinnon, an adviser to McCain, as it became clear in early May that Obama was going to win the Democratic nomination.

"I think it's a great idea," Obama said at the time.

And the Obama camp wanted one of the two to be held on July 4, a day when Americans could be expected not to flock

The article is date July 14th BEFORE THE DNC. Obama has been ducking and dodging for months. This is nothing new.

That enough fact with proof for you?

town hall meetings are not NATIONALLY TELEVISED DEBATES planned 1 year in advance... do you honestly think rep/dem would campaign together? i'm sure alot would get accomplished by them "even sharing a plane together"

Ok Paul. But it would have been a lot better than these ridiculous Forums that they have both been doing where they both basically sound exactly the same (especially at the 9/11 forum on service) and there is almost no telling them apart. At least you would have had these guys on the same stage AT THE SAME TIME and would have really been able to compare Apples to Apples. Our ecconomy is in the toilet and McCain is going to try and do his job and he is being ciriticized for it and yet what is Obama doing?

they have to do separate campaigning ... it would be cool to see 1 vs 1 throughout campaign but what would be the point... opposition would always complain b/c who would be in charge of screened questions, location, etc everything involved. it would be different if we weren't running a 2 horse race.

McCain isn't doing his job by delaying debates... he isn't going to be around to vote on anything anyway. Why don't you look into their voting records both having voted since last year on anything. They've been campaigning. Best thing for McCain to do is to show up and stop trying to create press on how diplomatic he is... they need to go toe 2 toe on a nationally televised event in front of millions.

And they still will. Hell they still might even have the damn thing Friday who knows.

Reps if I can.

Obama wants to run his own campaign and has proven very capable in doing so. Nationally televised debates are the best way to bring the debates to the people. Town halls are great for localized stuff like Senate/House races but not the best arena for debate on a national scale, especially concerning broad issues like foreign policy and the economy.

And when you look at McCain's track record with airplanes... I wouldn't fly with him.

reps for you if can. town hall meetings are pointless for the national stage IMO.

They are useless if you only have one candidate on stage. You don't think the media would go nuts if they started having town halls with the both of them on the same stage at the same time talking about the issues? These forums are equally as useless as Town Halls yet they get huge press because they are in the same building.

Now put them on stage at the same time and see how useless they are on a national level .
