Ya-ha.

Okay check this; all that matters is that Yoda be close to Sidious' level, then when those two are busy armwrestling, weakling-no-hope Obi-Wan can just strain to lift up a feather and tickle Sidious. Thus distracting him for that crucial .004s required for Yoda to put the choke hold on him ...

Lets be clear on this, the Sidious/Yoda fight was balanced on a razor edge. Jar-Jar Binks walking into the room and tripping over his stupidity would have been enough to determine this fight one way or the other.

But Sidious could have choked Jar-Jar, thrown him out of the window then while Yoda split his attention to save him he could have gained a strategic advantage, check out "Dark Rendevous" for a good example of this.
Obi-Wan wouldnt be able to deflect Sidious's Force lightning or resist it like Yoda did at the start of the fight.

Sidious would have called in dozens of gaurds, he didn't use them against Yoda because Yoda was supposed to be his to fight.

So? She was an innocent, who Yoda wasn't prepared to sacrifice for Dooku's head, Darth Sidious is an entirely different cat to be skinned; 'Destroy the Sith we must.'

And your proof for this assertation is ... oh your opinion I see. Nice.

Obi-Wan didn't even *blink* when Darth Tyrranus threw Sith Lightning at him (the very first, and only time he could have possibly come up against it). I don't deny that Sidious' lightning is more powerful (taking Yoda by suprise), but it isn't an instant kill either.

Obi-Wan plus Yoda would have pulled it off.

I believe he did just that, only it took a while for them to get there.

Dooku's lightning overwhelmed Obi-Wan so why should Sidious's lightning not be a problem for him ? Aso youre saying would ave brought Obi-wan along with him to act as a punching bag for Sidious- Despite the fact that he may be the only other jedi knight left and that they are in a building surrounded by stormtroopers and he still need's to hunt Anakin down.
Yoda may want to kill Sidious but bringing Obi-Wan to near certain death just to give him a slight advantage when he will need help after the fight seems a little out of character for the saint of the Jedi order.

Excuse me

Wholly immaterial to the point. We are discussing a what if here, running around saying 'but Yoda wouldn't bring Obi-Wan along' is pointless - it is truely without point.

Palpatine called in the guards just to search for Yoda's body. They arrived within moments. At least thats what the novelization says.
