PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE #2 LIVE THREAD

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 is giving a straight, heartfelt answer to the inane question.

I agree. All the questions, I think, except the Navy guy's were idiotic.

[Boagenes]

Ugh...horrible, horrible debate. McCain did bad, really bad. But Obambi was pretty rambling, and stuttering and all over the place towards the end.

You can bet this wasn't a game changer.

I think McCain did quite well. On more than a few occasions “ The One “ was rambling, not making any sense at all.

[Thane_Banquo]

That was a powerful, powerful closing statement. The number one and number two things people remember in something like this is the last thing said, and the first thing said, in that order.

WHERE`S THE ATTACK !!!??? WHERE`S THE AYERS CONNECTION!!!!??? REZKO !!!!???

I think McCain and Palin are playing good cop bad cop with Obama.

[kinsman redeemer]

I had just said, “Shame on McCain for not mentioning No! SCREAMING ‘Ayers’!”

Roflmao!!!

With all due respect, “undecided” and “independent” voters just means people who aren’t paying attention.

They don’t know whether they are for big government or for limited government. It depends on the suit or the smile or the gut feeling or their personal opinion.

[Hillary's Folly]

I think we all can agree that Brokaw needs to stop...and cindy looks stunning in blue.

[Terrence DoGood]

“Another opportunity” sounds like a reference to his military service

[Ilya Mourometz]

Very nice closing by McCain. I didn’t really follow Obama’s little story, but I’m not going to buy his books to read about it. My loss, I suppose.

[bert]

Pay attention.....those issues have been delegated.

[zwerni]

also - i don’t believe for a second that these people are UNCOMMITTED. It is BS designed to shape the opinions of the viewers at home.

[Texas4ever]

Hit the polls hit the polls

[MathDoc]

I don’t usually watch Brokaw, but he actually did a good job, at least the part of the debate that I watched. This may be one of the rare news anchor performences that the reporter shouldn’t be ashamed of.

[Tarpon]

Mac held up well and maybe even scored some good hits.

Overall, I think the audience went to sleep.

[HonestConservative]

True!

[NOBAMA in 08]

NO! LBJ and Carter too make this Idiot look like a Jerk!
Now he is babbling about food stamps and how poor his Granny, the Bank SVP in Hawaii was, poor thing!
So how did he pay for dropping out of Occidental and meandering thru Columbia in the most expensive city in the World and then Harvard Law School while never working!!

WHO was and is Obambi’s Sugar Daddy?????

Billy AYERS???????
