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 believes it's a rescue and not a bailout.

On the first question, Obama blamed Bush for the economic collapse and tried to tie McCain to Bush. Why didn’t McCain rebut him?

McCain may look nervous, but, he’s answering the questions in terms people can understand.
Obama on his stool, looks like Sammy Davis at the Sands.
Only thing missing is a glass of booze and a cigarette.
And an eye patch.

Bringing up FM/FM — “Obama and his cronies giving loans to people who could not pay it back” — discussing too vaguely what he did to stop it. He’s on the right track but needs to be SPECIFIC and HARD!!
