Poll question: Ayers Lottery!
How many minutes into the debate will Gramps first bring up Will Ayers?

The debate lasts 90 minutes. I've broken the time slots up into 10 nine minute segments, counting starts at zero. If McCain says the word 'Ayers' in any context, that is 'bringing it up'.

The winners get to donate $100 to Obama. The losers get to donate $200.

1. I don't think he will
just a hunch - I think he'll try to stay "above" what his entire campaign and running mate are doing - but I am a lousy gambler. Every hunch I ever played lost me money.

2. Great theory, but you don't get to vote.
I suppose nine 10 minute slots would have been a better idea so that spoilers could select 'never'.

Ok - if he never mentions it everyone who voted has to donate $300 to Obama.

7. I have voted - can't donate - what do I do?
I am willing to accept punishment. But it has to be fair. :)

3. I think if Brokaw will ask about it, it will be early in the debate.
In an attempt to make Obama nervous.

I don't think Tommy gets to ask anything. I could be wrong.

5. That's a good idea, but I'm not sure how many people here can
afford to donate that much, at least not all at once.
