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 must respond as to how we got in this mess and not accept the premise that this is the fault of the Bush adminsitration

This is not a real townhall meeting--just questions from the audience with no follow-up. Moreover, Browkaw has screened the questions so he really shapes the debate. McCain must break away from the questions.

[Future Snake Eater]

Utterly ridiculous response. Like the first debate, you can’t tell a difference between Obama and McCain when it comes to this issue.

[rintense]

Ahhh... ehhh... ummm...

[queenkathy]

maybe mccain is gonna let O think he’s not gonna hit him...then he’ll hit him hard

[chad_in_georgia]

Good grief Mccain, you want the treasury to buy back bad home loans??

[padre35]

Hear Hear!

How about writing off more then 3,000 in any one tax year?

[Patriotic Progeny]

But I do not like McCain’s answer.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Go Johnny Go! Fight Fight FIGHT!

[Centurion2000]

SecTres : Obama's answer ... dancing like a monkey with an organ grinder.

[Saint Reagan]

What???? Buying bad mortgages? This from a Republican? I feel sick.

[word_warrior_bob]

Tricked you too.

[AZLiberty]

OMG, not Meg Whitman on the day eBay announced 1600 job cuts.

[BurbankKarl]

Franklin Raines is going to be Obama’s Treasury Secretary!

[oldvike]

WHAT the hell is that sitting in front of her?

[Fawn]

MCCAIN JUST BLEW IT. All I remember Obama saying is that this was caused by BUSH and the last 8 years.....Mccain did not mention anything about the BAILOUT!

[bigbob]

Dammit people this is about winning not about beating an ideological drum. Let BHO get elected and you won’t have to worry about ideology.

[Red Steel]

Obama very vague and general attack on Bush and Capitalism.

McCain answers with some detail and a plan.

Agree.

[GoMonster]

no way mccain is terrible he won’t attack

[defconw]

Anyone catch the Senator Hussein? LOL
