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.

Oh but Obama can say “Pock-eh-stahn” really well!

The tax credit allows everyone to own their own insurance, rather than their employer owning it, and would include self-employed as well as those who work for others.

There are no “terrific questions” about Pakistan, Sen. 0

[SE Mom]

Hah! Should we ignore Pakistan’s sovereign borders??

[Tribune7]

Should we pursue terrorist in Pakistan like we did in Cambodia in the Vietnam War. LOLOL.

Wow. We somehow snuck a Republican in.

[jakerobins]

[TexasGreg]

“Paah-kee-staan”

[Gondring]

Sen. Biden is not a state senator.

[proud American in Canada]

“So casually like it was no big deal....weird.”

I agree—it was one of the weirdest statements I’ve ever heard, really.

[Netizen]

“PHIL” wants us to be a “peace - MAKER”, I’m sure he’s undecided too.

Exactly!

[stratboy]

Let it go, it is just his way of saying “you guys”. Not that big of a deal to me.

[Darth Republican]

Pak-ee-stan? But wasn’t Bin-Laden in Afghan-ee-stan?

[pctech]

Oh I know, I heard it too. I'm so tired of what the "world" thinks. We don't need to be worried about what everyone else thinks.

Obama just used a question about Pakistan and segued into a rant about Iraq again. Geez, this man is so clueless.
