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.

That’s why a lot of us are going to be holding our noses and voting, but vote we will.

This was not the right format to rip Obama open.

Why not? Reagan did with Jimmy Carter. Everybody says wait until some other time. No

The time to skewer the ObamacRat and the Liberal-nazi agenda is Now.

McCain, you better turn into a Patton. You better fight for your country now and don't stop until the election's over. Go through the Obamacrat's like sh-t through a goose. Hold him by the nose and kick him in the arse.

Senator McCain, if you've ever fought for America, do it now and don't let up!

Luntz’s groups are always tilted to the left. That’s why, when they were unanimously in favor of Palin, I thought it was amazing. He must have let his staff actually get real people for that one.

I don't find that to be the case. I've seen MANY of his groups in the past that were tilted more to the right. I'm not sure, but I think Hannity used to refer to Frank Luntz as a "Republican pollster"...

Brett Hume made reference to the moderator who seemed mostly concerned with the time, format, and making sure he got in all his questions.

You know... They should just put a timer on the mike power switch. That would solve the whole issue.

Fred Barnes was so right. There was time to talk about guns, immigration, abortion, etc. That would have made it much more interesting. This sounded like a rehash of the first debate. Sadly McCain did nothing to change the game I think. If those polls are right then he will remain behind.

Couldn't agree with Fred more. Brokaw lost a golden opportunity if he truly wanted a fair and interesting debate to mix it up but that wasn't his intent.

What's interesting is the fellow on the CNN focus panel who said he thought McCain won this debate whereas Obama won the last one. However he added he's heard nothing new from either candidate and IMHO the fault lies with the Brokaw.

Can’t you see that Obama is a fraud? Arte you so blind as to believe that a fool with 3 years experience a s a fake senator (his Republican oponent self destructed) is NOT competent to be president? YOu aren’t electing a penis, you are electing a president!

McCain needed to connect with the voters tonight and hit it out of the park.

He didn’t.

The MSM is enamored with this con artist and are praising him as the greatest thing ever.

God help us all if this arrogant punk gets elected.

I want questions on gun control, abortions, the fairness doctrine, and Fannie and Freddie in the next debate. And whatever else is actually important and might differentiate the two. Feel free to suggest. I am dog tired from watching that snooze-athon.

Those Luntz people sounded way too rehearsed. I would be very surprised if they were not 0bama people to begin with.

The secret handshake was the giveaway. Orgy at 11:30, Hilton. /s & /lol

I kind of wish I didn’t watch nor listen to this debate... it was infuriating on so many levels. I’m really afraid to see the polls over the next few days... Obama will probably be up by 15 points tomorrow...
