Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) sent a letter to invite Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) to join him “in participating in town hall meetings across the country to discuss the most important issues facing Americans.” Yesterday, McCain told reporters that he “prefer[s]” town hall style discussions, saying he “would never have been able to win in New Hampshire if we hadn’t have conducted 102 town hall meetings.”
After learning of the proposal, media figures took him at face value, simply repeating McCain’s claim that he is well-suited for the town hall meetings:
– MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell: “One of the points there is to take advantage of McCain’s presumed strength in the town hall format and in loose conversations.”
– MSNBC’s Monica Novotny: “So it seems that these town halls would work to his strength.”
– Fox News’s Juan Williams: “That’s his strength. That format, when you get John McCain doing town hall meetings, he’s at his best.

McCain got told off by a teenage kid in a Town Hall meeting. If that's his best he's finished. McCain has to talk to Charlie Gibson so he can get some protection. Charlie like to hammer away at Obama about things that make no since. Tweety and Tim, the two idiots might help as they ask stupid questions. Katie Courtic would be great as McCain could sit back and watch her attack Obama about being American.
McCain needs his Media back up team fast.
