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.

They picked "middle class" or "my friends" as the drinking game phrases and are all passed out in the Cheese Wiz.

Cheers!

The fence sitters are a product of our most intelligent education system. No conviction at all. They are weak.

Probably not the best format for that, per se, and maybe wiser to keep that talk confined to the campaign trail for this round, Now, if in the next debate, they do something similiar to the MSNBC Democratic primary debate between Clinton/Obama where they show a clip of such rheutoric and ask the speaker to qualify it...BIN-GO!

Obama is a socialist, a defeatist, a left wing liberal, and allied with America haters and racist like Wright and terrorists such as Ayres. He cannot win, he is not going to win.

Agreed!

not everyone watches the debates and mccain can use what he left “unanswered” to beat the obama with later. im sure palin will step in and take a wack at the mole too. obama sucked dude. i like that mccain did not btch about obama hoggin the time, it just made obama look worse because he said nothing and the moderator more biased. why all the doom here? DANG people.

Holy cow. I am the resident cheerleader and will only delve into this sewer once. I was so disappointed in how Mac avoided all of the obvious slam dunks that Obama lobbed his way.

Crap, crap, and double crap! Why oh why?

Ok. Now I am done feeling sorry for myself and ready to go back to work tomorrow and spin it the best way I can. We must win this election with or without the help of McCain. We have Sarah and our own resources to use. God help us all, that is going to have to be enough. So please, get to work.

0bama did not disappoint, he repeated his talking points without teleprompter, but, added very little. I found myself dosing off while he was taking.

McCain was more animated, than, the last time.

That turned me off... on the economy and environment, little distinguishes the candidates in their support for big government activism. They differed more on Iraq and Pakistan.

Those Luntz people sounded way too rehearsed. I would be very surprised if they were not 0bama people to begin with.

I don’t get it! They have been telling us nothing matters in this election except the economy. Then Luntz’s group said McCain did better on the economy.

Luntz said the group said McCain did better on the economy -
BUT!
Did you notice when Luntz asked for a show of hands on the economy (those that thought McCain did better) with the camera on them - only about half of them raised their hands. COWARDS! Explain that, Luntz!

Since Obama cheats and lies, I wouldn’t be surprised. But they’re still his whore.

He picked questions in areas he thought bho would shine and mop the floor with McCain. Like Fred Barnes said later no questions on guns, marriage, etc...which would have been the norm IF brokjaw hadn't cherry picked the questions to favor his boy.

bho doesn't share the same beliefs as the most of the USA on those subjects and brokjaw knows it. Thus he avoided them altogether.

How many want to bet Michelle began berating Obama the moment he stepped off the stage?
