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.

I expect Boone Pickens to come out for Obama just before the elections.

LOL did you hear the git who said that Mc did not answer the question asked of him 7 times, and that Mc made rude comments towards Barak.

Oh yeah, that guy was an independent.

Good grief. These people are fooled by the style and bookish knowledge bambi memorizes.
I sure do fear for this nation. He seems like such a newbie, a child compared to McCain when it comes to readiness for potus!!
Pathetic.

“Nonsense. A debate does not a president make. McCain just didn’t overwhelm in the debate, but lose the White House because of it...Naw.”

I agree with you, madison. :) I think perhaps you were answering to Boagenes (post 4712).

You’re right, he didn’t overwhelm, but he came across as sincere and passionate about his country. He also said over and over the great things about America, where Obama was constantly negative.

I think people respond more to a positive message, especially when you’re describing them, basically. People make up America, so if you’re going on about how bad America is, well.... But John McCain kept saying, “America is the greatest force for good on the planet” and how the American workforce and ingenuity can solve our problems (which I agree with!).

We’ll see what happens. Thank you for your post. :)

Is the question of whether McCain or Obama “won” really the relevant question tonight?

I think the real question is how many even bothered to watch. I sure didn’t.

They should scrap these and just put Biden and Sarah up for another round.

When is the last time there was a really memorable moment in a debate? Debates are way overrated by the media and political junkies.

Obama is a socialist, a defeatist, a left wing liberal, and allied with America haters and racist like Wright and terrorists such as Ayres. He cannot win, his is not going to win.

I’ll say it again. Where do they dig up these brain doner “undecded” voters? If you are undecided at this point you have either been on drugs the last two years or were abducted by aliens.

Honestly, I don’t think the debate changed ANYONEDS mind.

Clem, this is probably too late to sway you and many others. Which is damn unfortunate. But read it anyway, please.

“Sounds like McCain didn’t talk about Ayers or Fannie Mae. Damn.”

McCain hit Fannie&Freddy, but not Ayers. Although he did say something about Obama’s cronies. I’ll bet he was advised not to “go negative,” which is BS since Obama is as negative as any presidential candidate in history. It just so happens that he constantly attacks a guy who isn’t running.

McCain did point out Fannie Mae and how BO was the second largest Fannie porker.
