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.

McCain came across looking like Obama’s maternal Grandfather.

I kind of wish I didn’t watch nor listen to this debate... it was infuriating on so many levels. I’m really afraid to see the polls over the next few days... Obama will probably be up by 15 points tomorrow...

I think most people fell asleep during the "debate" so there will probably be no changes in the polls.

Why did Brokaw decide they had to name their Economic Secretary now?? What made him the center of attention. He was the worst Moderator yet.

His question selection was completely in the bag for Oblack and never really covered the Economy. Pathetic performance. So far Laher was the only fair one.

My guess is that due to the terrible format McCain was able to get his main points in for future campaign.

Pray for W, Gov Palin and Our Troops

I think that bus has left the station, flying the colors of the Rescue Bill. McCain certainly wrapped the gift and put a bow on it. But that’s all.

Why did they take 6 questions from the audience and two of them were black? Just an observation. Seems a little over-representational.

“Some of the best posters here were (inexplicably, IMO) banned around/after the 2006 elections and I never understood it...”

Really? I’ve been on here since about ‘02 but didn’t really notice a purge of regulars around the time of the ‘06 elections?

Do you recall who got booted?

Frank Marshall Davis, his boyhood ‘mentor’, was bisexual as well.

Frank Marshall Davis also wrote a autobio porno book wherein he admitted he was bi AND a pedophile. He was young Barry’s ‘mentor’ from age 9 to age 18 when he went away to college. Paging Larry.....

And that intrigues me because there is something in their response that the MSM is missing and could be a real factor when people pull the lever on Nov 4th.

It is intriguing. Obama outscored McCain on every question except national security, and that one was close. So . . . why are they still voting for McCain 56 to 44? I hope this tiny sample size translates to the General Election . . .

See, the avgerag person wouldn’t think things could go to hell in only 21 months the Dums have had House and Senate control. But we know this to be true.

We’re still paying for the crap Billy boy wrought on us during the 8 years of hell.

As for the debate. John did very well and had BHO bobbing, weaving and ducking more questions than William Ayers.

Speaking of which, I wish he could of brought that up.

McCAIN/PALIN in town tomorrow. Time to turn up the volume a little more.

That question about treasury secretary was somewhat puzzling. I think Brokejaw wanted to know who would be handling all that bailout money in the next admin. I agree, out of thousands of questions Brokaw could have asked he tried his best to favor Obama, and Lerher did a better job at moderator.
