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.

Never taking on leaders of his own party. HIT

Spending. HIT

Earmarks and Adler. HIT

is that genetic or did he just assume the manner

McCain is crashing and burning stylistically. Thats all that matters to the media as well. This is sad to watch.

Can't say McCain is being as direct as I'd like him to be, but I suspect he's being cool because he has to connect with independents in the country.

Best,

Chris

McCain needs a sit-down debate. Obama does not do well in sitting down, talking.

It seems unfair that when McCain finishes his turn, Brokejaw immediately asks him a new question so he has little time to think.

Mccain is NOT a loser. Are you listening? He has hit delivered knockout blows to Obama.
