That is over-doing it a bit. I think 3 or 5 is sufficient. Afterall, Obama has A LOT of groundwork to accomplish. Obama needs to roll-up his sleaves and go door-to-door introducing himself to voters, especially the so-called &amp;quot;working-class White voters&amp;quot;. He cannot do this if he is having all of these townhall meetings. I have hope that Obama will crush McCain in the townhalls.</description></item><item><title>McCain: Congratulating Obama</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/05/1115217.aspx#1115333</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:42:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1115333</guid><dc:creator>donna</dc:creator><description>McCain is full of.....let's just say marlarky!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That mean old man, stood up there, Tuesday night, and through his dog grin, announced that Obama's nomination, was 'given' to him by the pundits, and party elders!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama was right to smack McCain in the mouth, Tuesday night, for not being willing to acknowledge his accomplishments!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just like he voted against the Martin Luther King Holiday.

Since Hillary is about to concede and endorse Obama I pray that her supporters will think about the facts . &amp;nbsp;1) Obama and Hillary have very close ideas , that is why it was such a close race. 2) Voting for &amp;nbsp;John McBush is like voting for Bush , and now he says if he wins he will go for 8 yrs versus 4 yrs. 3) You find that the Maverick that John McBush used to be until until 2000 has vanished. He is in lockstep with Bush policies. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I hope that McCain will try to be as honorable as he claims he will but I doubt it. His speak pose and grin is down right creepy looking. If you wonder who he looks like think Dana Carveys &amp;nbsp;Turtleman in the dumb movie Master of Disguise.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once again time to unite the Democrats . </description></item><item><title>McCain: Congratulating Obama</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/05/1115217.aspx#1115351</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:45:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1115351</guid><dc:creator>Spider</dc:creator><description>The righteous (Obama-Democrats) considers the cause of the poor, but the wicked (McCain-Bush-Republicans) does not understand such Knowledge.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain can't be trusted.

I did so after he fared so well on Super Tuesday and the &amp;quot;inevitable&amp;quot; candidate Hillary Clinton was being held in check. Knowing how many states he can put into play this year will prompt me to sent him another $500.00 so he can continue to bring young people into the process. The more people (especially the young ones) that get involved, the better off we all are. I can't wait to see the contrasts between the two Senators and I hope the entire country stays involved. Let the race for the White House begin and congratulations Mr Obama on your historic nomination. As a 55-year-old man I never thought I would see this day in American politics and it makes me proud. </description></item><item><title>McCain: Congratulating Obama</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/05/1115217.aspx#1115387</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:49:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1115387</guid><dc:creator>jesse     St.Paul Minnesota</dc:creator><description>So the money is what worries the McCain party.It's going to be a long 5 months for the repubs.Where are all there big money players,are they giving to Obama?So the Bomber has a problem with groups of more then a couple Hundred!
