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.

watching on CNN, it doesn’t seem that McCain is connecting with the “uncommitted Ohio voters”. I am a bit worried - really wanted McCain to stick to to BHO.

Is it me or does the audience seem more engaged with McCain?

I call 'em as i see 'em.

The sleepers have been activated, and we ignore them at our peril.

Do you even know who Marshall Petain was? Comparing McCain to that quisling is beyond insulting.

Luntz’s group did very well last week.

I'm guessing he'll produce a tie this time, leaving the impression that Obama has dodged a major bullet and retained a solid lead.

Looks like Brokaw won’t give McCain an opening to bring up Ayers, Wright, etc. (not that he would, anyway).

McCain on Russia now. He sounds mature, responsible and firm. Not begging for a fight but not being so weak that his weakness invites attack. When it comes to foreign policy, this is the McCain I’m happy to vote for.

And this "Pauw-key-stan" sh*t is some sort of bizarre effort to sound *international*.

It's like Kerry's "Jen-jiss" Kahn.

McCain absolutely is bitch slapping him... I’ll say up until the National Security questions/topic both were doing nothing but delivering stump speech lines.... But on this topic McCain’s delivering intelligent honest forceful thoughtful answers, and Fauxbama is still just delivering stump speech lines.

McCain just broke this debate wide open, the longer it stays on this topic, the more Fauxbama is exposed as the stuffed shirt empty suit he is.
