Yes it was unfair McCain's op-ed piece didn't get published. But how many times will McCain be on Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity and how many times will Obama? It's not like McCain doesn't have a means of getting his message out.

Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly both have standing invitations for Obama to appear. Hannity has even floated the idea that Obama can co-host either his radio show or one of his TV shows.

Obama will eventually have to face Fox News once again, especially if it is as powerful as the left would have you believe. You don't ignore a network with bigger ratings than CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC combined even if they're not sympathetic to your viewpoint.

I agree. Before November he'll have to appear, I'm just curious as to what show.

Rush has very few guests on his show. so it's fair to say that neither of them will be on his show.

his show isn't that kind of format, he doesn't rely on guests for his show to work. he might offer them, who knows, but i seriously doubt he'll have either of them. anys rush would chew obama up and spit him out.

Do you REALLY think Obama will go on Rush or Hannity's show?

He loves seeing himself on TV and hearing himself on the radio, so I think he would be tempted. I think he's actually pretty good in debates, so I don't know why he wouldn't, other then he would be afraid of too many cheap shots. I'm not sure what's in his closet, everyone has something.

He will appear on O'Reilly, I'd bet.

I don't think they would ever come to terms on what they would talk about, etc. I'm sure Obama would want to know in advance what would be discussed, and neither Rush or Hannity would agree to that, because neither would pull punches.

Do you mean Obama? If so who has he debated?

I see your point, but I wouldn't call it "cheap shots". I think they would ask him real ?'s that the Obama station (MSNBC) doesn't ask him, and should ask him....Just my thoughts..

actually I've heard Hannity outline his exact questions and offered gObama a full 3 hrs. But why would he go answer SH's questions when he knows no one else will ask him?

A full 3 hrs with Sean Hannity?

Ooohhh...tempting. I can't imagine anything Obama would rather do.

Of course he won't. Why go play MLB if I could make the same money playing church league, slow-pitch softball?

Given that Hannity is calling his radio show the "Stop Obama Express," I have a hard time seeing why Obama would want to subject himself to three minutes of questions from that guy, much less three hours' worth.

If I were Obama, I would show up and smoke Hannity, who Obama can clearly think circles around.

Limbaugh, on the other hand, he needs to steer clear of.

my point is that he's trying to walk thru this election without facing his toughest critics or answering some very relevant questions. The MSM is doing a poor job with presenting the full view of him as a candidate. Would Hannity be extreme? Probably, but Obama has already said he'll meet with Ahmadinejad and I really can't see that being any worse (especially from someone who hopes to change the US).

I'm not sure about that. Obama has a hard time answering the questions "lobbed" at him over the past week or so. Hannity would play "fast pitch" and I really think it will make it tough on Obama.

I'm with you. I certainly don't consider Hannity to be that intelligent, but I feel the same about Obama. I don't see Obama running circles around anyone. He frequently seems to make little gaffes when he isn't reading from a script.

Agreed, Obama should know the questions going into the show. Sean is a bit repetitive to say the least, so he could have his script mapped out for him before hand, but the uneasy feeling would come from question B, and C on that topic. Obama doesn't seem to do well in open forums when he's doesn't control the enviroment
