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.

Obama thinks he is “THE ONE” but McCain points out he is “THAT ONE.” LOL

Healthcare as a commodity? Obama has no idea what that means.

...painfully (for him, even tho he thinks he's faking us all out) obvious. Er, em, ah, er, um, ah....

Obama DOESN’t answer the question about healthcare being a COMMODITY....Obama doesn’t know what the word “commodity” means...so he responds with talking points!!!

No. When he started talking, I thought he was going to say that was the most common question he hears around the country.

I had my BS-O-meter ready.

The TROLLS think we don’t know who they are but we do and we are not taking their stupid talking points.

So we're not actually a conservative forum based on free speech, we're just a Republican forum based on party line?

What a lying SOS this jerk is.

He has no idea what he is talking about.

Now I know why he picked Biden. Obama believed Biden cause he doesn’t know any better.

Palin will be the next GOP nominee.

I love Palin, but if hussein wins in Nov, I can see Bobby Jindal emerging as the GOP nominee.

Maybe it’s just me but McCain seems much more sincere, believable, honest, and real.

He seems to be the authentic one.

He must keep using the “rhetoric vs. record” method.

I think it’s working for him.

He has already won this debate.

Best post I’ve read so far

yeah, and people that work in the defense industry and other industries have to give random piss-tests to get their check and stay employed, while the checks we dole out to the unemployed are not required to give the golden-flow.

I didn’t think McCain was doing too great, but I’m heartened to see that the traders on InTrade.com don’t agree.

This is the real-time tracker; look at the change from 9PM onwards:
