Obama Likes McCain Idea for Town Hall Meetings
According to , Sen. John McCain proposed a series of ten joint town hall meetings with Sen. Barack Obama beginning June 12 in New York City.
Said McCain: "I suggest the town hall meeting format, because I think it's the best way... I even propose we travel together on the same plane."
The Obama campaign : "As Barack Obama has said before, the idea of joint town halls is appealing and one that would allow a great conversation to take place about the need to change the direction of this country. We would recommend a format that is less structured and lengthier than the McCain campaign suggests, one that more closely resembles the historic debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas."
