thus why I stated "informal". This might be the closest they come to an open debate. Do you think the Clinton years had non-scripted town hall meetings? How about Kerry? (Don't taze me Bro! Don't taze me!)
Although they may not have been interviewed together, they did appear on stage at the same time. 
But I am sure that this is "above my pay grade." (what kind of POS stupid response is that?)
The point and intent of the original post, draws the same conclusion. |
Hate to belabor the point, JT, but we all do that on the Lounge which is why we have threads...
They merely shook hands onstage as they passed. McCain was in a soundproof room while Obama was interviewed, and Obama left when McCain was being interviewed.
Unlike the current form of town hall meetings...no unscripted questions came directly from the audience, with no follow up to the answers of the opponent.
McCain does well in the unscripted venues...Obama reads well.
