…The McCain Campaign has at times famously cordoned their candidate off from the media and continues to pre-screen people to allow only supporters into town halls. Essentially, they’re trying to perpetuate an image of their candidate rather than simply letting him talk with any and all Americans face to face.

(Our president is, after all, supposed to be the president for all Americans, not just the pre-screened and select few.)

In order for the McCain group to play the “quick, look over there” game to avoid discussing this obvious velvet rope-style elitism, they keep complaining that Sen. Obama is somehow the “elitist” in this race even though McCain has been the sheltered and hand-held candidate (not to mention the issue of his $500 shoes and seven+ mansions featured on the cover of Architectural Digest).

That’s the bizarro-world fiction the McCainiacs keep trying to sell everyone.

So how does a truly down-to-earth candidate handle talking with average joe and jane Americans? By actually listening to them even if they disagree or aren’t sure, then comprehending their concerns and explaining his values and beliefs and how those things translate into his solid plans for improving America.

Roll the tape…
