Obama & McCain to Skip Unity 2008

Looks like there will not be a Unity 2008 appearance by the presidential nominees Barack Obama and John McCain at next week's Unity '08 convention of minority journalists. The conference moved its planned "presidential candidates forum" to prime time Thursday so CNN could air it, but that also destroyed the scheduled of the candidates. Obama will be in Europe next Thursday, and McCain will be attending a long-scheduled "Town Hall on Cancer" sponsored by Lance Armstrong's foundation.
