#1 Sen McCain is having too much fun watching the Billary-Obewan Show; he doesn't need closeups.

#2 Interesting. Hussein wants to do this during the summer, then implying he is the presumptive nominee in the same way as McCain is. But he's not and won't be. So I would look for McCain to take him up on the offer...after the conventions. But Hussein will not want to debate McCain without his body guards in the press then. Especially as Hussein has not demonstrated skills as an extemporaneous speaker as has McCain in his almost daily sparring with the press. Dumb move by Hussein. But then, it was done when he was speaking extemporaneously.

#4 ``Obviously we would have to think through the logistics on that....~~exactly which of the 57 states, we'll wish to debate in, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Philly, Miami, Washington D.C., etc...~~

#6 What an amusing idea. Perhaps they should do this before the Democratic national convention. It would certainly give the superdelegates a more realistic idea of their candidate's viability -- and help them decide whether to vote for Candidate Clinton instead. P'rhaps one of McCain vs. Clinton, too. McCain can show Obama to be a puppy, and Clinton as bright, knowledgeable, and overly stiff.

#7 The gracious thing for McCain to do would be to debate them both together until a Dem candidate is decided.
