PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE #2 LIVE THREAD
10/07/08

Posted on 10/07/2008 2:01:24 PM PDT by TornadoAlley3

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.

As far as I am concerned, they are both tip toeing through the tulips. The public is more educated than they are.

I think he’s doing well, talking from the heart and looking like an honest, real person. Unlike O who looks like an alien.

He's not doing well. Obama has been more energetic and has launched a few attacks that McCain hasn't bothered to response to.

McCain said, for the first time, that he would make banks create new loans for homeowners based upon THE CURRENT VALUE OF THEIR HOME AND ASSURE THE INTEREST RATE WOULD BE LOW. It's idiotic!

McCain is looking like he wants to be the leader of China or the USSR, not what we know of as the US.

This audience looks to me to be hand picked.

The questions seems like they were reviewed so no zinger could hit Obama IMO.

When McPalin mentioned the word "some money goes to terrorist organizations..." the camera panned to a stiffening Θbama as if America has discovered its own Osama bin Biden.

He’s working too hard to sound “moderate”.

YUP. And to me that's nothing new for McCain. and I think Palin sounded that way the other night to but that WAS new for her. She lost me.
