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.

CNN,ABC,CBS,NBC,msnbc,and NPR have all announced that Barrack Obama is the winner of the debate.

My spouse says they already have the newspaper headlines for POTUS - "OBAMA WINS" - just like Dewey.

Agree very much.

Okay, now we’re talking fashion....something I know.

That is a horrible dress on Michelle. I am reminded of that Carol Burnette sketch when Carol was the star of Gone With the Wind and wore the window drapes, complete with rod draped across her shoulder.

Somebody’s trying to make Michelle look sweet and girlish and they’re doing a lousy job.

For my money, and I’m perfectly serious, Sarah Palin is a terrific dresser. Absolutely perfect.

There’s now a contract on Intrade for determining the winner of the debate, via price differential.

So there doesn’t appear to be a point in generating the same kind of analyses I used to on other debates.

Current snapshot

Sorry to disagree, but if McCain loses this election he has only himself and his advisors to blame. Granted, Bush didn’t exactly make it easy, but still, 0bama should be easily beatable by a strong Rep. McCain’s penchant for “bipartisanship” and his antics on immigration have hurt him, as has his apparent reluctance to attack 0bama’s weaknesses. Perhaps tonight he’ll change his approach. I hope so for the sake of America.

People sent them in online. The Tommie has to pick a handful. I don't know how you can check 6 million. Probably random picks. If he likes it, it's in.

I have to admit that I always look to see what Sarah is wearing. She is a fabulous dresser.

Michelle, on the other hand, looks like a Sunday School jumble sale waiting to happen.
