[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.

ZING!!

MCCAIN SHOOTS AND SCORES!!!

"I didn't see your name on that letter Senator."

[Pravious]

McCain... STOP LEANING ON THE CHAIR!!!! IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE YOU’RE TOO FEEBLE TO STAND UP!!!!

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Obama is flat out lying.

McCain needs to nail him on Fannie and Freddie.

Don’t let him get away with this BS and lies.

[queenkathy]

haha...let’s see the letter O your name isn’t on it

[cake_crumb]

Well yea, but they’ve been saying it louder since 2002. CNN wrote a column about it in their economics sections. I err....sounded off on the same section, comparing the ‘Bush Economy’ to the Carter economy...and on a bunch of other major network sites.

Good luck keeping up with this thread =)

250 behind already!

[GOP Poet]

He sure did the next question after the one you mentioned :-D. Fannie-Freddie and Obambi

[luvie]

He hasn’t made any touchdowns yet.

[pepperhead]

There you go John offer to show letters. Offer to show the bill.

[stratboy]

Senator Obama, I'd like you to see the letter and your name is not on it

[pctech]

I think he just did, he said Obama’s signature wasn’t on the letter he sent.

[JFC]

I wish Obama’s hand would fall off.... he is not ready for leadership. McCain is doing fine. He is who we trust. We do not trust this polished smooth talker.

[humblegunner]

Is there a drinking game?

There had better be!

Memo to self: Do not throw beer bottles at the TV tonight. Just because I thought McCain's answers were not what I would say does not mean that undecided, independent voters won't like hearing it.

[mlocher]

McCain is setting up Obama on corruption for later questions. He is setting the stage to say that he has a higher character than Obama. He is not trying to win every question, but to leave a strong message that only he can be trusted.

[nikos1121]

He didn’t say that did he?

[nikos1121]

He didn’t say that did he?

[MeekMom]

Why? is McCain doing badly?

[workerbee]

I don’t think he’s going to bring up Raines or Johnson (who’s surprised?) Had the perfect chance -— Blown.

[Hound of the Baskervilles]

McCain seemed jumpy at first, seems to be calming down now.
