Open Debates?

I read that Badnarik is participating in these open debates.  Will these debates include Kerry and Bush?  Someone please explain.

My guess would be it'll be Badnarik, Nader and a bunch of other 3rd party candidates in these open debates.

Will these debates include Kerry and Bush?  

I highly, highly doubt he would be involved in a Kerry - Bush debate. Maybe he'll be having an open debate with fellow third party candidates.

Will the topic be - "Who is the best spoiler"?

As I understand, the open debates will invite Bush, Kerry, and some popular independent and third party candidates. If Kerry or Bush do not show I think I heard they will put a straw man in his place.

They should have a 5th grader draw a picture of both of the candidates and then prop up the pictures on the candidate's podiums.  Every now and then they'll ask one of the poorly drawn pictures a question and wait 10 seconds for an answer while the camera focuses on it

It wouldn't do much if both Bush and Kerry don't show, but if one shows it could hurt the other.
