Machinists To Hold Bipartisan Candidate Forum
By
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers will hold its presidential forum on Aug. 27 and Aug. 28, and they've managed to attract a constellation of political stars from both parties: Sen. Hillary Clinton, ex-Sen. John Edwards, ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Sen. John McCain and ex-AR Gov. Mike Huckabee.
The IAM says that Sen. Joe Biden might also attend.
Sen. Barack Obama said no -- evidence, perhaps, that he's beginning to turn down appearances to forums. Some of his campaign advisers are frustrated about the demands to appear at these interest group "debates" -- they require prep time and make it nearly impossible to get anything else done on the scheduled day.
