What's Important 53

Fifty-third in a series. (I thought about calling this 52, but half of #52 still stands.)

From WSJ's Washington Wire:

Then [on Monday Oct 13] came the event in Wilmington, N.C., held at — irony alert!– Cape Fear Community College. McCain stood in front of the crowd and said he would take questions or comments after he delivered his remarks. He finished his prepared speech and tacked on a longtime stump story about the bracelet he wears. But then the music and handshaking began. No questions or comments to be heard—at least those directed at the senator. “I thought this was a town hall meeting?” a man asked the press corps.

Interestingly, McCain seems to have stopped taking questions after the "Obama is an Arab" debacle last week. He doesn't have to defend Obama if he doesn't listen to what his supporters say, does he?
