McCain Rethinking Those Town Halls

This is funny. After digesting what Obama said to his supporters in Philadelphia last night, the Michael Goldfarb at the McCain blog had this to say.

"If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."

A couple thoughts from McCain HQ on this. First, Barack Obama has a long track record as a proponent of stringent gun-control regulations--to the point that a questionnaire filled out by his staff, and with the candidate's handwriting on it, stated that Obama favored a ban on the manufacture, sale, and distribution of handguns. Can we assume that Senator Obama now opposes efforts to ban the possession of handguns?

Second, would Obama be carrying a concealed weapon to this fight? Will he have a permit?

And finally, we're having second thoughts about our proposed series of town halls.

It's definitely good to have a sense of humor and this blog is getting some attention as a result. As to the substance, clearly Obama is reassuring supporters that despite his lofty rhetoric about a new kind of politics, he is willing to go into the gutter if he needs to, heck he will go deeper into the gutter! Which is just a way of saying, to everyone involved, don't think of me as John Kerry, I am not John Kerry.
