10/07/08

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.

It’s only 1/3 over, lots of time for McCain to snag a
Bambi,, too bad it isn’t Tag Team..

[JacksonsDaddy]

And now he wants to drill for oil, He’s not answering the question... What are the american people going to have to in without during his presidency?

[SE Mom]

Eeeek! Do you have a table handy to jump on and then scream!? :)

[TaxRelief]

McCain has a problem with the Bush team. He should have put his own team of advisors together.

The GOP advisors/drivers/analysts/brief preparers are incompetent and stuck in a rut.

[KeatsforFirstDog]

SOMEBODY please!! It sounds like Obama has had 3/4 of the talking...

My God - I’m not sure I’ve heard McCain talk more than 2-3 times for very short times

[Petronski]

What we are witnessinng this evening is absolutely the worst presidential debate performance by a republican candidate in the history of televised debates. there is no way in hell McPain will win this election ... he's pathetic.

Obama rambling again

[mlocher]

Do your patriotic duty and pay taxes — sacrifice!

[Army Air Corps]

Obama is a human sleep aid. He is duller than dirt and the tired old class warfare crap is also soooooo 1930s.

[berkeleybeej]

Oops 2.89

Sorry yet again

[Terriergal]

Hey, let me ask you: do “a lot of you remember 9 - 11?” [snort]

Weeelll let me see.. hmmm.... yeaH I think so, wuz that when the brits invaded normandy?

[Scarchin]

No and - true or not - it will not impact this election.

[GipperGal]

Gawd, I already miss Sarah.

Ditto!!! Can't he just send her in to punt for him. (can we make that a new rule or something?).

[gop4lyf]

Hah! I am a teacher aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnd I make $49,000!

[Another Thought]

Class envy will work every time. McCain should ask the audience how many of them work for a poor person.

[Notasoccermom]

“A lot of you remember the tragedy on 9/11.” OF COURSE WE REMEMBER IT! DUH!

We also remember the bombings on a smaller scale of your friend William whom you don't remember.

[arkady_renko]

Obama class warfare professional. Teacher being downtrodden.

[littlehouse36]

McCain is coming across as warm and human (albeit nervous) and Obama is cold and steely.

[NYC Republican]

I called it a week ago... Unless McCain has a response to the TAX rhetoric, he can pack it up and go home... So far, NO response to numerous BS lines
