John McCain challenged Barack Obama to a series of ten weekly town hall meetings earlier this month where the candidates would answer unscripted questions from voters in the audience.

Sadly, it was announced today that the Obama campaign refused to participate in the series of unscripted meetings.

Obama refuses to engage McCain in town hall meetings

The Obama camp said they would be willing to do a single town hall meeting on the 4th of July, as well as three traditional debates and an in-depth debate on foreign policy.

Weird. He’s such a great speaker, or so I keep hearing. But he says he’ll only consent to one town hall, and it would have to be on a national holiday when nobody is watching TV.

Senator Obama - why won’t you engage the public in an unscripted environment?

I guess such candid interactions are not in your script.
