Barack Obama's campaign just sent out a news release announcing a "town hall meeting" in Cedar Rapids, Iowa Wednesday, as part of his economic policy tour through battleground states.
The campaign says the meeting is "not open to the public and is by invitation only."
It sounds to me like they're putting the presumptive Democratic nominee in front of a hand-picked audience that is presumably favourable to him and will ask softball questions.
How does this differ from the dog-and-pony shows the Bush political team put on, which Democrats and the press spent years decrying?
