Townhall or Commentator Debates - Which would be best and When?
Obama should offer to do 4 debates this summer:
1 townhall (referee for timing issues ONLY)
1 with 1 commentator
1 townhall (referee for timing issues ONLY)
1 with 2 commentators
Then by the time Aug rolls around - Obama will know which venue he does best in against McCain.
Obama should agree to the above debates on the condition that HE gets to choose which kind they have in the fall.
I recommend that the commentators be Hannity or O'Reilly and Olbermann or Racheal Maddow (different times of course).
This forces both candidates to take on the questions from the most conservative and liberal/progressive political pundits.
It will prepare them for the Fall debates when most voters will be paying attention.

Townhall, L/D debates. Don't let McCain hide behind a moderator.
