Bush and his people should resist a "town hall" debate
like the plague. In addition to the possibility that "undecided" participants might be pro-Kerry, there
is at least one other serious problem with this format:
It tends to bring out Democratic-type, self-interested questions. In my experience viewing these things, questions about the overall national interest, let alone the candidate's ideological orientation, are rarely asked. The focus tends to be on: "what can you do for ME?" These debates are a natural for Dems, dangerous for Republicans.

Bush did great in the 2000 debates against the Alpha Male. Bush will wipe the floor with F'n.

Grab the popcorn.

it works both ways. undecideds could be for bush. this is an important election, bush has nothing to fear, isn't it the ideas rather than "performance"?
