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.

God bless McCain, may he be given the exact right words to say convince the American people that he is truly the best choice. And, Dear Lord, please help him to take off the gloves!

Worst economic situation since the Great Depression. Thanks, Messiah.

[Unlikely Hero]

I can’t watch either because it’s terrible. Obamarama already going to his used-up catchphrase “failed policies of last 8 years”. ZZZzzzz

[bigbob]

Mac answers the question at least. BHO just bloviated.

[SAJ]

Brogans, hell. Best be more like steel-toed.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

Yup, and McCain’s letting it slide.

[workerbee]

McCain right off the bat with energy independence. Good choice. Stop the spending spree in DC. Talking of reform pkg, “doing something” about home values. As prez, he will order Sec of Treasury to buy home loan mortgages and renegotiate the value of homes.

[50cal Smokepole]

We’ll talk later.

[Exit148]

Sounds like O memorized his first answer. No matter the question, he was ready with an answer to an economy question. He was ready — word for word. (like rote)

[don-o]

he quoted the 400K dollar junket those idiots in AIG took recently.

irrelevant

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Renegotiate mortgages....per McCain.

[BurbankKarl]

McCain is jumping the shark....full on socialism....lets buy all the homes....good grief

[goodnesswins]

Me too.....I’d rather see the “highlights” later.....too nervous to watch in real time - but like watching the comments here!!!

[petercooper]

OH GOODNESS Mac wants to buy home loans

[Blogger]

Yeah, but buying up the bad mortgages????

[GRRRRR]

McCain rambles but then gets to the answer, buy up the mortgages...stabilize home values.

MY FRIENDS..>Frink< TWICE!

[mnehring]

Mac seems more animated and energetic tonight.

[April Lexington]

McC is actually answering the question. He has a plan. The O doesn’t

[valkyry1]

McCain has answers!
