This has been a dream of mine since the campaign began, and today Sen. McCain sent the invitation. He's proposing at least 10 weekly joint town halls starting next week in NEW YORK CITY at Federal Hall! Awesome...
UPDATE: Obama's campaign has responded somewhat favorably. Looks like they've agreed to do them, now they're just arguing over the details...
Here's the statement:
“As Barack Obama has said before, the idea of joint town halls is appealing and one that would allow a great conversation to take place about the need to change the direction of this country. We would recommend a format that is less structured and lengthier than the McCain campaign suggests, one that more closely resembles the historic debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. But, having just secured our party’s nomination, this is one of the many items we will be addressing in the coming days and look forward to discussing it with the McCain campaign,” said Obama campaign manager David Plouffe.

Now here is an opportunity for some real change. Let's 'hope' Senator Obama accepts.
