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.

KEYWORDS: 2008debates; bailout; debate; failout; financialcrisis; jumpingthegun; mccain; notbreakingnews; obama; obamatruthfile; prematurethreadage

My drinking “word” will be to take a drink every time Zerobama pronounces the last syllable of a word like “economy” or “policy” with an “eh” instead of an “eee” sound.

Economeh - Drink!

Policeh - Drink!

Etc.

Did anybody just see FOX report now saying BO sent his economics team back to Chi Town to come up with a new econcomic plan within a week???????
His ads say McCain has no plan - Seems like the manchild is further behind!!

yup, I agree.

My feeling is, this being a town hall, McCain has the truth on his side, and bambi has no teleprompter, and this will be his undoing.

Brokaw’s not the worst.

HOPEFULLY the crowd isn’t partisan but one never knows. I myself have prayed and will continue to pray that America can overcome this PROFOUND mental health crisis if only until Nov. 4th.

I also think the Clinton’s will throw bambi under the bus if it comes to that.

The moderator, Tom Brokaw of NBC News, is sifting through those millions of questions to find six or seven that he might pose.

Right now, he only has 8.9 million more questions to look at before the debate.

If the economy's beating McCain then McCain should be showing how Obama helped create the wreck.

The late turn in the polls may be an early indicator that the "it's the republican's fault" line isn't going to stick. Too early to say, but maybe.

I hope McCain is aggressive, but I don't think this is the venue to dive into all the Ayers/Wright stuff. It is the perfect venue to get fierce on Fannie/Freddie. McCain has an opportunity here to change some minds on who's responsible for this mess and he needs to jump on it-- all the while making sure that he looks like the most sober and thoughtful person in the room and the right one to lead on the economy for the next few years.

While I don't think this is the place to get mean and negative, exactly, I think there probably is some way to still get under Obama's skin. It would be hysterical if he could somehow get Obama to lose his composure. I think it's possible. Obama has ~never~ been in a race this close, and he doesn't think on his feet very well. McCain does. If he can just, as they say, get inside the OODA loop, pounce on any mistakes that Obama makes and get him on the defensive... then... Obama could lose his cool.

and THAT, ladies and gentlemen... would be worth the price of admission all by itself.

I hope McCain beats the Fannie mae deal to death tonite. Republicans tried to fix it but the democrats needed the bribes so they ignored it. He really needs to beat this to death.

He needs to blame this whole mess on the housing problem and the housing problem is due fannie mae primarily at least.

Let’s see. I’ll have my hands covering my eyes, and just peeking through my fingers...Heh.

I don’t know if I can watch that much Obama, or if anything will keep me from barfing, but I’ll try;^).

I believe it was found to be a hoax. Not a true translation.

HOPEFULLY the crowd isn’t partisan but one never knows.

Someone reported during the Palin/Biden debate that Obama supporters were grabbing Palin/McCain signs from supporters and tearing them up...I never did see anything further on that. Can anyone confirm that?

I hope Johnny Mac comes out with a ziplock bag of dog doo and throws a piece at BO every time he opens his mouth.
Some of you think Mc should lay back??? Are you nuts?
Hit fast, hit hard, hit often and hit below the belt as often as possible.
Toast this Ahole NOW. Let Sarah kick the pieces around.

Wish I could be online during debate, but won’t be able.
Seriously, McCain has the chance to make the difference between the two candidates CLEAR.

not surprised...I had to smear a yard sale sign with vaseline once.

I didn’t have access to skunk spray but that would be fun.

I'm hoping the McCain campaign will have something new that hasn't already been excused by the NYT that John can hit bambi with...especially without teleprompters.

Is Breitbart calling for ear canal inspections this time, the way they did last week?
