Maybe they can hatch out some proposed upgrades for the patriot act of which they both agree on, and voted for.

who knows, maybe we'll all get lucky and they'll decide to make each other each-other's running-mates,...

Either way, and no matter who you think is going to win, seems like a big risk for McCain to take on Obama in that kind of setting.

I don't know. Obama doesn't seem too comfortable off-the-cuff. He's great at the long, uninterrupted well-rehearsed speeches.

Get him in a Q&A, and he calls people bitter gun nuts

That's the reason Obama is proposing a Lincoln-Douglas format ... prepared speeches, perhaps reacting to each other, but with a limited Q&A session.

McCain just raised $21 million and is now the sole recipient of republican/conservative contributions, plus his wife is a gazillionaire.... he's not out of money, nor will he ever be.

I'm just repeating what I heard them talking about on CNN.. Obama still has a lot more money than McCain's mere 21 million.

I actually agree with this.

if we truly wanted to enact real democracy in america, federal election-processes would receive large quantities of tax-payer moneys to ensure that under-funded candidates have at least a minimal degree of "equal-opportunity" to participate in expressing policies and ideas; all of the basic procedures and debates would be funded by the government [the people] for the benefit of the people [the government]; all candidates would co-exist in a similar atmosphere, perhaps comparable with a professional sports combine or a large arts audition; and in the long-run this would propel the best candidate to rise above whatever bullshit political-environment may be dominant at a given moment because the extraneous factors of wealth and bureaucracy would not exist.

Obama will always have more money... he's a donation magnet. He smiles at people and they hand him $100 bills. McCain will never raise as much money as Obama, but he'll raise enough to fund his campaign through November.
