Below are links to clips on YouTube of Senator John McCain’s appearance today on ABC’s TV show, “The View,” wherein he negotiates his way through a radically liberal and hare-brained coffee-klatch.

He doesn’t do too bad at all. He is absolutely right, in response to criticism of his TV ads, to keep reiterating the fact that Senator Barack Obama has refused his invitation to appear in town hall style debates across the country, and that if Obama had instead accepted that invitation (as he said he would as recently as May) this campaign would have had a very different tone.

Without extended debates on issues of substance, it was always going to be a battle of TV ads, sound bites and images. Obama simply reneged on his promise of a different kind of campaign by refusing to debate (not to mention by choosing to reject federal funds and shoot for overwhelming financial superiority instead). The candidate of “change” opted decisively to do things in the same old way.
