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.

Liberals are always given 5-10 points in the leftist polls until election day. Even with the democrats blaming the Republicans for the bad economy they caused, I believe Obama is actually losing.

O answer is simply this...

To save Israel from Iran, we should give them all tire pressure gauges so that they can keep their tires properly inflated to save energy, energy in the form of gasoline that they can't provide for shortage of refineries which is driving them to wanting nuclear energy that some say can be used to create weapons to sell to terrorists but they won't if they have alternatives to increase their energy supply like inflating their tires.

She thought McCain did great and was very impressed. That is a one person poll with a random sampling error of +/- 98%. Take my wife’s opinion for what it’s worth. She is a good indication of independent undecided voters.

As a rock ribbed conservative I I thought he sucked ass. That’s a random one man poll with a sampling error of +/- 100%. According to her, I’m always wrong.

I guess that means McCain will be the next POTUS.

“I came from modest means”...Scholarship — Arab money to go to Harvard. He should have said, “My brother in Kenya is still living on modest means.”

What kind of BS question is that? I mean, really. The youtube debates were more interesting.

That said, what the he** is Obama talking about?

Dang!

I thought Barry Horshack Obama was going to give everyone a copy of “Pick Up The Pieces” with each tax cut for the 95% of us.
