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.

Debate Recap: A boring debate where McCain has landed the most offensive blows. Both candidates have been nervous, but Obama has gotten angry and irritated a few times. One of the highlights has been Tom Brokaw fighting with Obama to keep his answers under time.

John McCain has won this debate hands down!!!

I guess we're watching different debates.....McLame hasn't hit a clean single, yet alone the home run that's supposedly required. He's flat, stale, stilted and not coming across well in the least.

McCain needs to give more details. Obama sounds good but he is shoveling SOCIALISM. People hear the delivery but are not listening to what he is saying.

Obama is NOT smooth. He’s evasive and all of the folks I’m watching this crap with are in agreement that the O is loosing big-time. He’s a fraud. He can’t answer the questions so he just bables. McC looks old but wise. Guess who will win in November? McCain. Because he’s not coming off like a goof tonight.

Where did this guy come from? Obama does not even understand normal American sayings.

I think it’s a draw tonight. McCain wins on substance and 0 wins on style. I hate that...a tie is not enough!

Agreed - and Obama doesn’t have an answer that hasn’t been put into his head.

This debate is getting really boring....

McCain is at his best when riling up Hussein. He needs to go back to more of that.

Tom BrokenJaw talks about PROBLEMS in Afghanistan...but Brokaw IGNORES the report about how the taliban has ASKED FOR PEACE and is BREAKING OFF RELATIONSHIPS WITH AL QAEDA!!

Looks like Tom Brokenjaw doesn't give a damn about good news.

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!!

So true
