Scientific Study of the Opinions of Americans with regard to the War in Iraq

I am working on a project that has to do with a scientific study of the opinions of Americans with regard to the war in Iraq in Lanham, Maryland. But I am not sure how I could determine the sample size and which sampling design that could be suitable for this kind of study. What would you prefer I do -- use phone interviews or face to face interviews and why? What would you say would be excellent for a sampling frame? And what demographic data would you advise I consider want and why?

Your wording makes it seem a lot like a homework assignment to me.
