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.
McCain’s individual president contract is down about 2.5, Obama’s is up by about the same amount.

ANNOYING!!!
But everything Obama says is annoying!
CAN'T STAND HIM!!!
spending cut: surrender.
I know it has nothing to do with football.
Nov.4th is what counts.
People don’t seem to realize that.
I thought I heard that. If he does that, then more people will cry for a national health plan. That’s when the feds really take over and we are officially a socialist state.
Makes me sick—we had to watch Hussein glad handing and it looked like McCain wasn’t even there!
McCain lost my vote tonight over the negotiating of people’s mortgages.
Not true. We want, and very much like and respect, Nutmeg.
Irrespective of the faults of Romney, Nutmeg
has a right to have supported him.

Sen. McCain won the middle.
$2.95 in Sherman Texas today.
I don’t think its that bad,they still have to pay for the house,they still pay interest. The neighborhood does’nt go to crap ect. The house gets paid for. The only provision I would put in it is a penalty if they sell the house later when housing prices go back they have to turn the difference back over to the government.
I agree. We need to remember that Tom Brocow :) chose the questions that were supposedly sent in by these voters in attendance who “have not decided who they will vote for”. I don't believe that anyone at this time has not made up their minds or at least leans closer to one than the other.
A real town hall meeting consists of the audience actually asking their own questions and there would be no need for the moderator to know in advance what they are....any more than the candidate. I would not call this debate a town hall at all because Tom Brocow decided on the questions. And then he gets in there and asks questions of his own? Why didn't the audience get to ask so called “discussion questions” or “follow-up questions”. All those were from Tom Brocow. No doubt Obama knew the questions, but in my opinion McCain still won the debate and my favorite line from McCain when asked by Brocow who would he consider for Sec. of Treasury, McCain said “not you Tom”. :)
My sister is a rather typical undecided voter.
Things she likes about Obama’s policies:
Health Care for All Americans.
Higher taxes for millionaires, and abusive golden parachutes, etc.
She voted for Bush last time, is leaning toward Obama now.
Those are the people who will decide the election.
“Anyway I guess it depends now on if voters want a CIC that has experience in time of war or if they just want “free” stuff.”
— the free stuff.
I went back to the football game after I saw what was happening. That was unfair and disgusting out of CSPAN or was it NBC with the pool coverage?
economically, the next four years are going to be very difficult for the Republic. If McCain is not elected, BO will be so inept, so incompetent, that he will not be able to enact the bulk of his asinine policies. Accordingly, the GOP will be well positioned to recapture one or both chambers in 2010.
What was with the moderator? He was ...boring.
