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.

Maybe it’s above Brokaw’s paygrade to keep this fair and balanced.

Obama talks in circles and no one knows what he says, and he takes more than his time allowed. He is SPOILED, he is HATEFUL and he my friends, has ZERO LEADERSHIP!

MEanwhile- I’m fed up with all the damn trolls here tonight and this is the MOST boring debate ever. Brokaw is horrible too.

What are the trolls saying? That the debate is boring and McCain isn't lighting their fire?

I think McCain will get a modest bounce from this debate.

Your analysis is sound. Obama has no specifics on most issues. He talks vision, but has little in the way of specific plans.

someone could have told them tonight.

I was hoping he would. ...in vain, it appears. Imo it was his best shot at closing the gap.

I can’t even believe Nobama when he says, “I’ll be very brief.”

“Did McCain just imply that Obama carries a small stick?”

At least Mac can’t be accused of falling back on crude racial stereotypes.

I hope McCain straightens him out on Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama is so clueless on both places.
