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.

Holy Smackers! McCain may have just blown it with saying we’re gonna buy up every bad or underwater mortgage out there and make sure everyone stays in their home.

And ah, jeez, he just followed up with suggesting Warren Buffet! Ay ay ay!

McCain also didn’t say argue that he didn’t cause the problem.

That's the bailout plan, essentially.

"I know how to get America working". Good answer. McPain a little shaky. He will calm down, he always does.

Obama avoided the first question on Treasure Secretary.
Go get him McPain. Again, he won't answer.

Does Obama realize the bailout plan he signed is trickle down economics?

Oooh, McCain is RIGHT- #1.

"Worst economic situation since the Great Depression. Thanks, Messiah."

Democrats have been saying THAT since 2002.

This type of forum is McCain’s forte. Praying he’ll hit his stride.

Actually, pulling Buffett out of the bag as a choice was really smart - he made Obama agree with him RIGHT OFF the BAT!

Neener neener neener...

WTF do retirees care if their home values decline?!!

Most people have their entire savings tied to their house value.

McCain is going to the person who asked the questions and talking to them. VERY smart move.

I don't think there are many politicians better at the Town Hall format than John McCain.
