McCain wants to emulate Kennedy/Goldwater campaign and have town hall meetings

[boobooday]

That sounds good. He can follow in Goldwater's footsteps and lose.

I can't wait to see it!

:popcorn:

1. Okay, but actual "town halls" won't work...

...with Obama there, we're going to have to hold them in stadiums...


:)

[skooooo]

4. lol

:rofl:

Obama has people of different colors show up to!

[LSK]

10. McCain is used to living room sized crowds, please forgive him

:rofl:

[Gabi Hayes]

2. June 12 would be the first one

I can't stand old crazy eye, but I'll give him credit for that

how can Obama one up him:

call for LINCOLN/DOUGLAS style debates

no ringers, no attention whores

just TWO MEN talking about everything

[Nickster]

11. That would be great. I'd get behind that idea.

[Inuca]

17. I think that

this actually quite similar to what McCain is suggesting.

[Doityourself]

3. He wants to do Town Hall Meetings with Obama cuz he know he sucks behind the podium..

[boobooday]

6. But of course he sucks all over the world

so he is grasping at a thin straw.

:rofl:

[no_hypocrisy]

5. I dunno. I see the potential for so-called Operation Chaos to make a mockery of the forum.

[malaise]

7. Too funny

10 Town Hall meeting across the country - no media questions , no spin. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!


And yes after the invitation he said the Democrat convention. :puke:

[PATRICK]

8. Unboarding

the John Birch Lodges and making them safe for groups of five to ten generic people actors could be expensive for McCain. Is he going in with a flak jacket and a company of Marines?

9. Kennedy/Goldwater campaign? Am I in a parallel universe again?

Is Bush the President in this one too? :scared:

In my universe Kennedy ran against VP Richard Nixon and narrowly won in 1960, but unfortunately was killed before the 1964 campaign. His VP, Lyndon Baines Johnson, ran against Senator Barry Goldwater and won in a landslide that year.

[Inuca]

18. 1964, had Kennedy not been assasinated n/t

[Richardo]

20. They didn't know Goldwater was going to be the nominee until August 1964.

Nearly a year after he was killed.

[blm]

24. Goldwater expected to be the nominee and he did make the deal w/Kennedy

on that expectation.

[Doityourself]

12. If he says "my friends" one more, I'm gonna fuckin' puke and poop my depends!

[shraby]

13. That's because he can't attract a large crowd. n/t

[book_worm]

14. except there weren't any town hall meetings it was just a suggestion before JFK was assassinated

and well before Goldwater was even nominated in August, 1964.

[boobooday]

15. Holy shit. That's a creepy detail. n/t

[Virginia Dare]

16. I say bring it on...

McCain will look like a complete and total oaf next to Obama in whatever forum he chooses.

[BigDaddy44]

19. What year exactly was the Kennedy / Goldwater campaign?

[Iggo]

21. Of course he does.

I's the only way he'll ever draw a crowd.

[opihimoimoi]

22. Barack ain't gonna fall for that shit...he is too smart....Why help the enemy? Let him suffer alone

[blm]

23. When Kerry urged more debates and challenged Bush many times, the corpmedia didn't think it was news

and treated it as silly posturing - and certainly never broadcast the challenges on their networks the way they cover every word out of McCain's mouth except his many gaffes.
