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.

STOP SAYING "MY FRIENDS"

At least I haven't heard "Maverick" yet.

The only reaching across the aisle right now should be to give the dems a good slap.

McCain has a good message but his style is much less smooth. bambi just sits there all cool.

Yeah, that's really bothering me... reminds me of Nixon vs Kennedy. :-(

McCain has reams of notes... does Obama have notes? Obama coming off as cool and collected... McCain seems fairly nervous.

McCain is as ignorant of the economy as he said.

Not that there’s anything wrong with ignorance on a topic; that’s what advisors are for.

But where are his advisors telling him the right way to handle this?

Absent. He has the wrong team.

That tells you a lot about Juan’s judgment. Not bright enough or possesed of enough self knowledge to cover for his weaknesses.

obama is out of touch: He said we’re paying $3.80 for gas. Prices are down to $3.20.

I was talking to a Vietnam vet (1st ID) a couple of weeks ago. He had never heard about Obama’s love for Ayers either.

Brokaw inserted himself into the Town Hall format to get off how much money in his own earmarks Obama has voted. Brokaw is a jackass.

I’m listening, spectre, but I don’t hear anything that will sway someone on the fence. He’s working too hard to sound “moderate”.

Is McCain awake? Its over. He is just stammering and saying the same short phrases over and over. What an idiot.

John looks old tonight. And he sounds like he’s breathing heavy — as if out of breath. I hope I’m not witnessing 1992 all over again...
