The Washington Independent: McCain Fakes Out Audience, Doesn’t Take Questions

  • Joshua · 1 year ago
    I was in attendance at the rally. At the beginning McCain clearly stated he was going to take questions and there were volunteers positioned in the audience with microphones. I've heard the stump speech, but was really looking forward to the questions. A lot of people are disappointed over the town hall fake-out.

    McCain is getting up there in age -- he probably just forgot.

    There was an article in a British newspaper about spies who say that AQ is planning an "October Surprise" -- apparently they don't like how the election is going, know American psychology well, and are goint to shake things up, to get a leader installed who will give them what they want. It wold be the "best" thing for McCain, and the worst thing for the US and the world. Let's hope it doesn't happen.

    When you're scared of how your own supporters might act when given the floor, you are not going to win. Or he is old and forgot. Rocky? Seriously? He is casting himself as the underdog from humble roots, mr. son of an admiral? - Jon

    strange. i mean, if he wasn't going to take questions anyway, why get people's hopes up at the start of the rally?
