PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE #2 LIVE THREAD

10/07/08

[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.

He’s like the annoying kid in the classroom who doesn’t raise his hand!

[mlocher]

He’s better at saying nothing better than anyone else...

Oh hell, I clicked on the Obama button accidentally! Somebody have their pet vote to offset my vote...

[clintonh8r]

FReeped.

[AndyJackson]

How to fix A-stan? That one will withdraw troops over time. He will tell Karzai how to get the support of his own people.

McCain - Petraeus just took over, and will apply the strategy that One said wouldn't work in Iraq to A-stan.

I’d like a right to the my hard earned money that the feds take away from me each and every day. With that money I could buy a lot of “rights” of all kinds.

[HonestConservative]

He claims to be an American, last time I heard, but, oh that’s right, he is a citizen of the world.

[myprecious]

Can you link? I can’t find anything on the main Drudge page about a poll?

[ninergold3]

Right there with you Ladyvet - mines a 17YO girl. God be with us both! LOL

[Bommer]

Geezus! ENOUGH WITH THE DRUDGE POLL!

THIS THREAD NEEDS MORE GIANT RED LETTERS

I hope they do some real fact checking...Yeah, Obama was trying to break the rules...You could tell the moderator was ever so sorry to tell him no...but I did like Brokov telling Obama (and the audience) “ we did establish rules that both sides agreed to” Obama looked like a kid being reprimanded by his 1st grade teacher.

[beagleone]

A moral obligation......
Did Obama the Historically Challenged just say that if we could have prevented the Holocaust, we should have?
Was the history of WWII taught at Punahou, at Harvard?

I was screaming when he said that. We DID intervene in the Holocaust. We defeated the Nazis! That ended the Holocaust.

However, had Obama been president during WWII, we'd be speaking German or Japanese now.

[pctech]

Well Drudge has McCain up 70-27 %.

[Future Snake Eater]

Yeah, he’s starting to suck hard. McCain’s still underwhelming, but Obama’s unraveling. Big shock, considering there’s no “there” there.

[AliVeritas]

Same reason he doesn’t help his brother. He has a chip missing... trust me.

[amutr22]

This is just disappointing. McCain has so much he could attack Obama on and he just doesn’t. He needs to energy as well. Wake me when it’s over. Ugh.
Give me PALIN any day!!

[Abigail Adams]

McCain saying he looked at Putin and saw 3 letters: k-g-b.

“Lets talk about your bomber buddies BArck”

I hope we don’t get thru the debate without Ayers being mentioned...
