I see by "A Tiny Revolution" that:

John McCain is having a townhall-by-telephone for Virginians tonight at 7:00 pm ET. Anyone with a Virginia area code—and maybe people with unidentified area codes—should be able to call in and possibly ask him a question. As far as I know questions aren't screened, and everyone has an equal chance of being called on.

Here's how it works:

Dial: 1-877-850-4146

Passcode: 84831

These are a few questions I'd try to ask if I were from Virginia:

1. Iraqi leaders are now saying they want a timeline for the withdrawal of US troops. If you become president, and the elected Iraqi government has decided it wants all US troops to leave by a certain date, will you commit here and now to following their wishes?

2. Phil Gramm, one of your top economic advisors and your close political friend, said yesterday we are having are “mental recession” and that we’ve become a “nation of whiners.” You've just said Mr. Gramm doesn't speak for you on this. If he doesn't speak for you on the economy, why is he one of your top economic advisors?

3. You've just said about Social Security that "it's terrible to ask people to pay in to a system that they won't receive benefits from." Do you know that, according to the Social Security Administration's projections, even if the trust fund is exhausted in forty years, recipients will STILL get higher benefits than retired people today get? [If YES: Then why are you claiming young people today will never get any benefits?] [If NO: Why are you talking about Social Security if you don't understand anything about how it works?]

4. You've said that you have a strategy to capture Osama bin Laden, but it's something that can only be done in secret by the president. Instead of waiting to be president yourself, why haven't you just told President Bush what your strategy is?

Virginians Can Ask McCain Questions In Tele-Townhall Tonight At 7:00 PM

http://www.tinyrevolution.com/mt/archives/002424.html

1) Some economists claim that the government under the Republicans has destroyed the value of the Dollar and the opportunity for the working class to get jobs or make ends meet. Why should I vote for you?

2) Experts say that your promise to destroy innocent lives in Iran will push a barrel of oil to over 400 dollars the day the attack starts. Why should I vote for your plan to destroy Iran?

3) Many people who know you well have said in the past that you are unable to control your anger and would make a very dangerous man to put in charge of America's military arsenal. Why should I vote for an adult given to adolescent fits?
