This "event" can be compared analogically to the president of the NRA inviting a gun control advocate to appear with a staunch pro-gun advocate in front of an NRA member audience. The NRA president would do anything in his power to trip the gun control advocate and make it very easy for the pro gun person. The playing field has been tilted all along in favor of McCain by his close buddy and life long Republican Rick Warren. I'd bet the farm that McCain was given way ahead of time all the questions and talking points. Comments by people who actually watched this thing indicate that McCain seemed extremely comfortable as if he had been given the playbook weeks before the event.
