While the two presidential candidates, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama, prepare for their second debate on Oct. 7 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tom Brokaw gets to sift through questions submitted by you. In addition to queries from a group randomly selected by the Gallup organization, Brokaw will be fielding questions submitted online at mydebates.org, the site created by the Commission on Presidential Debates and Myspace. The focus of the town hall-style debate will be domestic and foreign policy, Brokaw's specialties.

So McCain is going to buy bad home loans with our money?

Frickin' Socialist!

The Republican Party couldn't come up with someone better than this?

Not just any jobs, but high-paying, long-term jobs. Running a nuclear plant requires high levels of education, therefore it’s a pretty nice field to get in to—assuming we start building the things again.

He is doing fine. Don’t listen to the naysayers on the thread.

[lookout88]

McCain is terrible, let’s face it and ammo up

[mnehring]

If Republicans vote for this guy we’ll never again get a true conservative.

Mac is our only choice.. it is him or Obama.. he is just a placeholder until 2012. We lost the chance for true Conservatives in the primary. The few we had (Thompson, Hunter) didn't win the voters over.

I used to fear Russ Feingold’s liberal voting record, then Obama came to the Senate...

[Terriergal]

OK I know what the drinking game should be! Every time Brokaw says "One minute." or "I'm trying to play by the rules you laid down."

[smokingfrog]

just call him Mr. Obamajangles

[chad_in_georgia]

Feingold, Kennedy, Lieberman, blah...blah...blah. C’mon Mccain!!!

[lieutenant columbo]

He looks old. He is stuttering.

This is not going well. C’mon, John.....please.

I’m having serious flashbacks of Bob Dole in ‘96. Dole had every opportunity to slam Clinton but never did. Never. That’s what I’m seeing tonight. Hopefully I don’t have Bob Dole flashbacks on election night.

Don't eat out as much?!!! Good grief! Brings up the name JFK. Didn’t see that coming.

[Fawn]

WE’re still $3.70 in South FLorida...

[Centurion2000]

We have to prioritize .... of course entitlement reform doesn't even get mentioned.

My God Obama is lying his a$$ off tonight.

[Shortstop7]

I’m with you...too much whining on this thread. Sheesh.

[tpanther]

McCain’s dismantling him, and he sits there like a child with a smile. Ummmmm, this is no time to SMILE @sshole, people are ANGRY!

[Osage Orange]

Go do the right thing then.

Brokaw is what is wrong with America. Rich old fosil with a guilt lefty complex.
