Would more or fewer debates be more effective in informing voters?

7. Fewer

I think debates are just political theater. Not sure how the rest of the country feels, but does a large portion of the country even watch them? I am not sure, and I am too lazy to Google. LOL

I would like to see debates go inter-active, without the involvement of a sponsor or host, and I would also like candidates to take more advantage of social media by allowing interested folks to ask questions and have the candidate interact with them. I also really like town hall meetings.

I know Obama has been active in engaging on social media, and I think it's a strength.
