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.

Couldn’t someone have told McCain enough already on earmarks?

I'm glad to hear he will try to stop earmarks and pointing out socialist wasteful spending.

[I wonder whether Obama can produce a copy of that letter he supposedly sent 2 years ago?]

I’m sure he can, however, it was probably written last week.

are “the Mccain is doing terrible” posters Dim plants?

What...for speaking the truth?

Sorry, but the complacent optimism isn't going to win this thing. Sen. McCain is falling farther down, and needs more help than ever...pretending he's doing fine in this debate isn't going to help him.

Brokaw’s question is asinine.

As bad as “Daddies, how are you going to take care of us?”

Zerobama waxing ineloquently on taxes and CEOs.

Sharing burdens?

How about bear your own burdens?

McCain could win tonight by just saying that.

Wow, is he out of touch. Teachers, on average, make over 40k. Higher if you have a masters.

All I hear from Obambi is the class warfare cry and whining about Bush cry.

Very hard for me to conclude that McCain is winning. Very soft. Very me too. No punch. Obama is smooth. You are not going to beat him by playing his game.

Okay, so McCain says there’s no reason why all 3 issues can’t be tackled at the same time.

Didn’t Obama who just said that he needs to prioritize say 12 days ago in jumping on McCain for suspending his campaign to go back to DC to work on the bailout bill, say that a President should be able to multitask?

BUSTED!!!

“Michelle Obama was missing from the 9-11 memorial ceremony.”

Michelle wasn’t at the WTC on 09-11-08 because she was busy campaigning in Indiana while “Obama’s presidential campaign had been suspended in honor of those who died!”

I worked hard and paid my mortgage off ten years before it was due.

Do I get something for being responsible or do only people who have not been responsible get a gift from the tax payer?

oh stop it.....McCain and Palin are surging....they are going to win the whole thing....

McCain is doing what he has to do...appear to be a reasonable experienced statesman who has full control of his demeanor and his facts....
