I don’t think the Obama camp knows what they’re talking about. Again.
The Obama campaign responds: “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.”
Um, no, your suggested debate style is much more structured than McCain’s. Someone needs to give the Obama camp a refresher course in the difference between a townhall-style debate and a Lincoln-Douglas style debate. Here’s a hint; only one of those styles lends itself to extemporaneous speaking.
