I know the town hall style is the Dems favorite since Clinton was so successful with them. I am sure they will have some hippie throw backs in the audience with pre-approved questions.
With the 2000 "town hall" debate, George Bush was able to turn the audience over to his side, and had them laughing at Al Gore's idiocy along with himself. if anything, Lurch is even worse at connecting with an audience than Gore was, and he's certainly no Bill Clinton. I think the president will do just fine, despite all the Code Pinko types the audience will certainly be packed with.
