Pulling people out of the ditc...

With it being high-political season, nothing like another poll!!!

Do we really need a Presidential candidate debate? single choice
	Yes - I am so unclear as to where each candidate stands, and have not been able to make up my mind (those selecting this option also live under a rock and probably shouldn't be voting to begin with)
	Well, it is possible that they have received updated poll results since the last blurb shown on the 5:00 PM news, and I may learn something new, so, sure, why not. Debate away.
	Yes, they need to debate, as the late night talk show hosts are running out of fresh material.
	There should be a debate, but it should air during soap operas, not when I'm watching TNT-Friday Nitro!
	Rather than debate, I'd like to see both of them compete in a game-show type format; the first would be like Jepoardy, the 2nd like Survivor, the 3rd like Big Brother, the 4th DWTS, and the 5th and final would have a Gladiator Theme. The cumulative winn
	No, there is no reason to debate, I've made up my mind already.
	I'm undecided on whether there should be a debate or not.
	There is a Presidential election this year?

I only want debates if the candidates don't get the questions beforehand, and the moderator keeps them on focus and requires direct, specific answers. _________________________ Caveat Lector!

If McCain does not attend, it will have to be canceled by law, otherwise, it would be seen as an "Illegal Contribution" to Obama. _________________________ My silence doesn't mean that I agree with you.
