They could fly the candidates out overnight and have them back the previous day so no one will notice. :P

We can Tivo it and make copies and pass the DVD surreptitiously to one another in copies of US Today that we leave on park benches.

The candidates could talk about THE FORBIDDEN TOPICS:

Healthcare
the Economy
the War in Iraq
the Environment
the Constitution
Torture
Habeas Corpus

Then, in the later MSM sanctioned debates they can talk about UFO's, Britney Spears, Hair Styles, etc. and no one will be the wiser.

Who's with me?

Not like I'm checking or anything.

3. Only if they get Greg Palast to serve as moderator
that would keep things interesting

4. Perfect choice!
the ex-patriot American journalist writing great stuff that we are never allowed to see by our own MSM. No one more fitting.

5. For some reason, I saw BBC and immediately thought of Greg Palast
Just imagine the questions like "what would you do if you were presented evidence that the vote was being stolen by the machines"? :evilgrin:

6. The BBC, MoveOn.org, Code Pink, or even DU is free to hold as many debates as they wish and
to invite whomever they want to participate.
