McCain Wants 'Town Hall' Debates with Obama

clipped from ap.google.com John McCain is challenging Barack Obama to join him in 10 town hall meetings with voters between now and the Democratic National Convention in August. "I don't think we need any big media-run production, no process question from reporters, no spin rooms," McCain said. "Just two Americans running for office in the greatest nation on earth, responding to the questions of the people whose trust we must earn."

What this says to me is that McCain has internal polling showing he's got trouble. It's always the candidate who's behind who asks for a boatload of debates.
