Re: Barack Obama Refuses To Attend Townhall Style Event With Military Members And Vet

Well I don't know anything about the particular groups hosting this. Are they fairly mainstream, non-partisan groups? Or are they right-wingnuts like the American Legion and VFW? If it's the latter, I can understand why Obama doesn't want to participate; there are no votes to gain by participating. If it's the former, he's probably just holding out to extract some concession from McCain. If they're going to do a format that plays to McCain's strengths, Obama probably wants McCain to agree to a format that plays to Obama's strengths.
