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.

I can see a Palin / Jindal ticket. No way Palin vanishes if McCain loses - no way at all. Her appeal is huge. There is no other Conservative in the country who has the pull that she does.

and by the way Obama, where in the constitution is it stated health care is a right?

Obama says health care is a right.

Wow.

This isn’t creeping socialism. This is the real deal.

I just shut this BS off.

I’m listening to jazz now.

Sarah in 2012 has a better chance not tied to this socialist idiot.

I’m ready to stay home in a swing state.

I believed that Bush was pretending not to be conservative.

I’m not that stupid twice.

Indeed he is. A “right” to something that another must provide is called slavery.

Actually, it’s a reflection of the armchair campaign managers here who bitch endlessly yet stay home when it counts. It’s also a reflection of the Democrats who voted in Republican primaries—remember that?

Overall, it seems like a) the debate is boring; b) Obama is making his share of stupid gaffes while McCain is making his share of stupid quasi-socialist promises. McCain’s zingers seem better, but you never know how this stuff plays with the 2 or 3 voters who aren’t watching “The Shield.”

I disagree Mac sounds lucid and moderate, the mad dog aproach would be a mistake IMO

In a town hall format it would be BIG mistake to go red meat, like some of the fools here are screaming about.

“OBAMA SAYS HEALTHCARE INSURANCE IS A RIGHT”

NOT in this economy and NOT in a NONsocialist state!
