Obama should agree to 10 town hall meetings with McCain

It will give him plenty of time to explain his philosophical and policy differences with McCain the the Republicans.  It will give the American people a better chance to know him.  And 10 town hall meetings, with questions from the public, will give enough time to avoid or dilute "gotcha" moments and gaffs.  I know political strategists often want to limit their opponents' exposure when their guy/gal is ahead.  Since Obama promised us a new style of politics, I think avoiding town hall meetings is the wrong move for him.  I propose DFA petition his campaign to change its mind.  Thus, my first blog.  Agreement?  Discussion?
