How much would it cost for Obama to buy an hour of time in prime time

[Skidmore]

on one broadcast network and one cable network (or PBS cause everyone can get that channel now) and spend an hour talking to the people minus the pundits? Not a repeat his stump speech but a really intense discussion of two or three major policy areas and his positions on them -- say, healthcare, energy, and the economy. Oh, or CSPAN in the evening.

1. twice as much as it would cost McCain.

2. 1% as much as it would cost to get people to turn the channel from "American Idol" & watch it
