    hmmm...

    I'd just be worried that Obama would agree to debate Barr, then McCain would show up, and they'd both turn on Obama. That could be nasty. Or McCain might hide behind Barr and let him go on the attack.

    I tend to think Obama could probably wipe the floor with either of them, but I'm just worried about how the press would play it.
