OXFORD, Mississippi (CNN) -- University of Mississippi Chancellor Robert Khayat said Friday morning that if GOP nominee McCain does not show for the first presidential debate at the school in Oxford, the format may include members of the audience to submit questions to the moderator, Jim Lehrer.
Workers put the finishing touches on the debate stage at the University of Mississippi on Thursday.

Lehrer would then pose the questions to Obama. It would take on a kind of town hall format, according to Khayat.
Khayat said he will recommend that to the Debate Commission, which would make the final decision.
Its great that Obama is taking the initiative and forcing McCain to either show up give up the chance to convey a message to a national audience solely to Barack.
Whether McCain intends to participate is up in the air, but Democratic opponent Barack Obama said it's still on as far as he's concerned.
Obama will fly to Oxford on Friday, according to his campaign.
