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.

McCain needs to get off a light moment that the crowd laughs at. That will help him relax.

Yeah, commercial paper is short-term credit that bigger companies do use for payroll, etc., in part because it is so low cost.

I’m in Nashville.

My daughter is “locked up security wise” right down the road from Belmont at Lipscomb where much of the overflow is and one of my employees is there now. I live about 3 miles away in the hills to the south.

I was told most of the audience were cherry picked and not from nashville area per se.

Brokaw had a huge hand in shaping this ..

Obama's going to try to be dismissive about McCain's charges, calling it "politicians finger-pointing."

I thought the 2004 election was stressful - that was a cake walk compared to this.

I saw the letter he wrote. It wasn’t another other bloviated name throwing. Obama is the biggest bullshit artist alive. He’s an empty suit.
