As part of Senator John McCain’s “Outreach Program”, his campaign has begun a weekly event of conference calling with bloggers. I was fortunate enough to have received one of those invitations. The bad news is, I had a previous engagement at precisely the same time as the conference call so I had to back out but requested a seat next week or at least at a future date.
It appears though that some other bloggers aren’t exactly thrilled about the format or maybe more precisely, who’s on the invitation list. Michelle Malkin wishes she had an invitation and it appears that after sending an email to McCain’s Internet guru guy, Patrick Hynes, she will be included in next week’s show.
I sent Michelle Malkin an email and shared that I was on that list and I certainly don’t consider myself a liberal blogger. I suppose my readers have already figured that one out. Of course I don’t have the readership of Ms. Malkin either nor do I pretend to be her caliber of writer. I was happy to have been extended an invitation and hope I’ll have a seat next week.
It seems from the information I received prior to the conference call, Mr. McCain takes a few minutes to speak to the callers/bloggers. Then, if there is time, he will field questions. I’m not clear if questions are supposed to be focused on the topic he has chosen to discuss or if it is wide open.
So what I’d like to do is this. Let’s assume that questions can be asked about any subject. If you can think of a question, hopefully that pertains closely to the subject matter of which I write at the Black Bear Blog, include it in the comments section below. I will copy these questions off and consider asking them of the senator should be given an opportunityl.
