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.

What is with Sen. McCain’s breathing? He sounds like he is out of breath the whole time.

What happened to the one minute response time limit? I guess it just applies to McCain and NoBama gets to ramble on-—

I think the timer starts when he's done stuttering.

They are supposed to keep it to 1 minute each, McCain honours the time: Obama doesn’t follow the rules.

Like the Chinese gov’t, Obama has no honour!

Yes, its americas fault Europe, Asia, and the middle-east went out and speculated on real estate all over the world in the biggest bubble markets and their banks backed it all with their own versions of subprime loans & mortgage backed securities.

Brokaw does not look happy after Obama spoke. Obama has never took on his own leadership — never.

Naming Citizens Against Government Waste — this is great fought to reduce earmarks. Giving Obama’s record which is bad.

Gave Obama’s earmark voting record. Hit it out!

McCain is doing well by telling people to look at the “watchdog groups”. Compare the records, etc.

McCain’s hitting. He has to walk a fine line. However, his delivery is not smooth and I’m starting to get a bit concerned. He sounds a bit desperate with the breathing sounds.

I agree...so far McCain is weak. Obama lies authoritatively. His masters have taught him well.

McCain needs to remind people that DEMOCRATS have been in control of both houses of Congress for the last two years!
