Senator John McCain has already sent a letter to Obama's headquarter in Chicago challenging him to 10 townhall-style debates before the Democratic Convention in August. Where does John McCain want to have the first one? Federal Hall in New York City. Coincidently, Selena and I actually walked past Federal Hall during while walking down the famous Wall Street. Federal Hall is where the George Washington was sworn in as the first President of the United States. The building also hosted the first congress, supreme court and executive branch offices. Wall Street is interesting because it is actually a very short, narrow street. It almost looks like an alley and believe it or not, you could very easily miss it if you were not paying attention. From all the hype Wall Street gets, I was quite surprised at how soft spoken this street actually is.
If Obama accepts McCain's challenge, this is where they will square off:
And right across from Federal Hall is the crown jewel of Wall Street. The New York Stock Exchange:
This would be a great setting for the first debate of the race.

660 News did a poll yesterday and it was 51-49% for Obama. I think this race is going to be much closer than the media is going to be reporting.
If that poll is true, Obama may be in a little trouble. If McCain can trick him into actually debating the issues face to face, Obama's poll numbers will drop.
