Reply #2: I also think that there should be a public forum

consisting of three programs-one a debate style program (and I mean a real debate), and one town hall meeting type of program, where the audience is randomly selected-no ringers allowed, and one "call in" type program where questions to be answered by each candidate are asked by folks who call in from around the country. I think on the last one, only questions (not a lot of rhetoric) are allowed-they are recorded, screened by both candidates, and then presented for the candidates to answer.

And this should be the extent of TV time for the candidates, except for maybe 10 one minute ads presented the week before the election weekend. Print ads would also be restricted, as well as posters and signs, but I'm not sure exactly how.
