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.

“earmarks”
blah, blah, blah.
Hey... McCain! Would you PLEASE point out to America that your opponent does not have the qualifications to President, and that anyone who might think of voting for him should have their intelligence taken. Hey, John.. you DO want to win, don’t you? Hello? [insert best Biff imitation here], McCain? Anyone home?
To: acsuc99
I agree - but we are not the audience. Republicans will vote for Palin. It is the mushy middle McCain is going after - and needs.
I don’t like it, but I understand it.

McCain is lucky that Obama is as boring and meandering as he is right now.

McCain put education retoric ahead of entitlements BECAUSE education will lead right back to Ayers & Dohrn who together have been put in charge of teacher preparation in all of Chicago public school and much of the nation since resurfacing from the Weather Underground days...Thanks to Mayor Daley in Chicago (the junior).

McCain is like Dave Kingman with his answers. Home runs followed by 3 swinging strikes at balls in the dirt.

WTF does that mean?

There Obama goes invoking the name of JFK, (glitter by association) And now a question from the internet for Mc Cain about sacrifices which is something Obama will play like a violin.

Yah. We used to front equipment costs as a service to clients, because we could get great prices and a good credit line. Gave that up in 1998 after the Asian Tiger currency meltdown.
Know just what you mean, m'friend!

No, no. He is not doing as terrible as you think. He is certainly sounding a little gaspy, but his points are right on. I wish I could agree with you.
I'm just not looking forward to hear the mocking "Energy Independence, Energy Independence...>sqwawk!<" jokes again.
And how about all the FReepers who insisted 0 couldn't speak without a teleprompter...? Seems like he's crafting crafty answers.

OMG - that Obama brought up 911 - I hope that McCain hits him over the head with Ayers dancing over the flag.
To: JFC
McCain needs to never mention earmarks again. It is a dead loser.
