John McCain -- Wants A Debate Every Week

The Republican candidate yesterday congratulated (from the Guardian.co.UK) Obama on his victory and challenged him to a town hall debate every week between now and the Democratic convention at the end of August. McCain, speaking at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said John F Kennedy had made such an agreement with Barry Goldwater for the 1964 election.
"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."
