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.

“A lot of you remember the tragedy of 9/11.”

What do you think dummy - about half of us? Maybe more?

You get it. The point of this debate is to attract undecideds, who are thoughtful and looking past the slick and prepared answers for real substance.

Obama is not answering the question. Where is the sacrifice?

What the hell is Obama talking about?! President Bush telling people to shop? This guy is clearly not as smooth as the press thinks.

Obama invoked 9/11 . . . I immediately thought of Bill Ayers on front page of NYTimes that very day.

I’ve been watching this closely and this format really doesn’t present itself to attack, given the questions. Neither one is wowing me here. It’s pretty dull.

I was just thinking the same thing! I’m glad the AAAAAAANNNNND drives someone else crazy. I think that is “thoughtful” talk.

This is painful.
It has to get better cause it can’t get worse - I think.

Well Obama got that one wrong too. Bush called Americans to service, ‘serve your country by serving others’. THAT led to the largest increase in charity/volunteering we’ve seen in several years.

Couldn’t someone have told McCain enough already on earmarks?
