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’m floored that he didn’t mention Ayers or the radical associates - the way he was talking yesterday you’d think he would rip him something good.

I’ll say it again. Where do they dig up these brain doner “undecded” voters? If you are undecided at this point you have either been on drugs the last two years or were abducted by aliens.

Honestly, I don’t think the debate changed ANYONES mind.

The girl in the red suit and pearls is a Dem plant. She usually dresses like April Livange and has a MySpace dedicated to Obama.

Does she really?!

When was the last time there was a really memorable moment in a debate? Debates are way overrated by the media and political junkies.

Obama is a socialist, a defeatist, a left wing liberal, and allied with America haters and racists like Wright and terrorists like Bill Ayres. He cannot win, his is not going to win.

People were getting up to shake McCain’s hand and take his picture (except for the African-Americans). People didn’t even get up for Obama.

Yes, you are looking through Obama colored glasses.

Nope...McCain needed to do some "energizing", and he didn't even come close.

Both of 'em just touted the rote......doing that, if you're the one "sucking hind tit", doesn't win debates. McLame had NO fire in his belly tonight.

Bad day in Blackrock.......John will have plenty of time to reflect when he's back in Sedona on January 20, watching the DC version of "When the Saints come marching in" during the innaugural parade.

See my tagline, but most people don’t think that way, to them McCain’s age is a negative whether or not he’d run the country better.

Luntz group preferred Obama.

I don't trust any "undecided" group that has blacks in it. That's just a fact of this election.

” His groups are as useful as his hairpiece.”

Is Luntz wearing the pompadour red or the brown ?
Does Luntz get his groups at Morons R Us ?

Look at the video on FNC right now... Obama and Michelle are shaking all the hands of the people on stage, posing for pics with them, talking, etc.

Where the heck is John and Cindy McCain? I saw them onstage for about 5 seconds.

McCain finished strong with his foreign policy statement, but the sheeple and undecideds are going to crown Obama the victor tonight, particularly because of his "healthcare is a right" comment and his smooth style (think Nixon vs Kennedy).

It's gonna be President Barack Hussein Obama, mark my words. The media won... we lost and got McCain as the GOP candidate. We are so screwed.

FNC going to Mitt Romney now... the candidate we WISH we had... :-(

The Left dominated Schools and the Left dominated Media have brainwashed our nation.

Yep. Unfortunately this is why Marx promoted free government education.

I hope the GOP has an October surprise, because they’re going to need it.

The MSM is in the tank for Obama, and the public will pick style over substance.

God help us if this nitwit gets elected.

He’ll make us miss the Jimmy Carter days.
