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.

Who are these debates for? Who is undecided at this point? If they are that ill informed and or disinterested do we really believe that they are watching tonight?

Unfortunately, the future of our country rests on just the undecided idiots waiting for one of the candidates to ‘speak’ to them. This of course, means they are waiting to be SURE which one will give them the most stuff. Guess who will win.

There is a girl at work who is waiting to see these debates because she just can’t decide. I just roll my eyes. Clueless.

How the hell is Bambi going to pay for all of this? Now he's bringing up his dead mother again. On her death bed arguing with the insurance company. I thought he threw her under the bus too. Yeah, I want to wait a year to get a tooth pulled.

I’m fundamentally noticing that Obama fundamentally has a fundamental affinity for using the word “fundamental.”

McCain needs to raise the trust issue... The rhetoric doesn’t match the actions... He’s promising everyone everything. Disgusting

The next time some fraud posts how much "Obama is kicking McCain ass" my head is going to explode. If you're listening to the answers, its not even close. McCain is clearly articulating why Obama would be a fiscal joke in the oval office. What McCain is also doing is contrasting the words of Obama vs. his deeds and then smartly appealing for the voters to "just check our records"...

Yeah, but Obama is a convincing liar. If we're trying to appeal to the squishy no nothing middle than Obama is doing better because he lies good.

Brokejaw trick questions are always aimed at McCain as he's turning his back to go back to his chair...

Is healthcare a right or a responsibility? This is a trick question obviously designed for Obama!

McCain says responsibility... Obama says "right", citing his mom dying of cancer at age 53.

I think McCain just lost the election.

Two debates should be enough...McCain is certainly winning tonight, but both candidates do not inspire any confidence.
