Wrong. Obama has agreed to debates all along. The people who are hung up on this "Obama won't participate in town hall meetings" need to get over it, it was just something McCain wants to do because he is not going to do well in the debates so he wants a chance to answer folksy questions from hand-picked citizens.
The underdog always wants more debates/town hall meetings. Hillary was constantly asking for more debates with Obama. McCain likes town hall debates because there is no one there to really question him on his answers.
