Formats We Can Believe In
June 5th, 2008John McCain challenged Barack Obama to hold a series of town-hall meetings between now and the Democratic National Convention. Obama’s people are now working it out with McCain’s people. I hope they hammer out the details soon and hold the events shortly after, because it would make an unbearably long campaign much better for the average voter, reporter and independent blogger. Obama better be careful, though, because he’s giving free air-time to McCain and putting himself in a position where he might be upstaged by contrast. Of course, some people worry that that’ll happen to McCain because of their difference in age, so who knows?
