McCain Turnouts

Is it just me or are the crowds for these McCain town hall things getting larger? See Reno, Nevada Town Hall (7/29/08). I must say I’ve always hated the town hall format. Perhaps it’s innate elitism, but it seems to me that a panel of journalists and/or academic experts tend to ask better questions.

Obama is still not doing anything like a townhall, right? Or am I mistaken?
If so, the questions may be irrelevant to setting up a situation where Obama can be taken to task for being afraid to face the people later on this fall.
It’s a bit of a trade in skill Sy. McCain flounders in the formal debate, Obama fails with an interactive audience. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to have a candidate who could excel in both formats.
I am not sure that I can completely understand your comments. Would you be so kind as to expand on your reasoning a little more before I comment.
