Poll question: What should Obama do about the debate?
With McChicken hiding from the public what should be done with Friday's time slot?

And we all know that Moosebooger isn't going to show so I didn't include that.

3. 90 minute Q&A = 100+ million in free air time

4. I voted for "roundtable with economists" as that's the big deal now. It will also
put the spotlight on Obama's concern with the issue, and his listening to economists. This is statesman-like, and a far cry from McChicken dropping everything to fly back to DC.

6. Here is a possibility for that "debate."
McCain will offer to "debate" from Washington, long distance. Obama will be in Mississippi.

Obama should not agree to such an offer or arrangement. The real point behind that kind of deal would be to permit McCain to have coaches in the place where he debates. It would also be a way to avoid comparisons of audience reactions. That's not the kind of change we need.

7. Take all the air time and do a Q&A as others have said. It'd be a 90 minute Obama ad. nt
