PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE #2 LIVE THREAD

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.

But jeez, is McCain going to campaign on government-funded new mortgages for everyone for the next 4 weeks?

[Centurion2000]

Obama sounds totally lost on the Russia cold war question.

And completely bloviated on a simple yes or no question.

McCain: Maybe :) .... good witty answer.

[relee]

Looks like he’s awake now, staring at the back of Obama’s head.

lol

[CurlyBill]

0bama is a FRAUD!!

Repeat this until people realize it!

[WilliamReading]

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

And I looked at Palin and saw 3 letters: h-o-t.

[eyedigress]

Europe is beholden to Russia for NG. McCain answered well. Obama may need to check the books.

[mlocher]

The only thing we can anticipate is Obama being an idiot.

[flintsilver7]

You don’t have to repeatedly explain yourself if you base your belief system on facts. That isn’t the case with 0bama - he has to explain “no, no, what I meant by that lie was...”

He hasn’t really been good at anything, has he? Outside of the cult of personality, I mean.

[Gondring]

Couldn’t disagree more. Obama has no true substance. None.

So...?

Who gained more voters?

0bama.

...the Vulcan from Star Trek Voyager.

Tuvok.

McCain: “Maybe.” A clever, well-delivered response that was actually funny and made complete sense.

[anniegetyourgun]

He just had to get that European word “petrol” in there!

[Tatze]

That CNN “undecided voters” group is a complete set up. Pay them no mind. CNN has done this before- and they’ll do it again.

I agree. McCain only needs to gesture towards Obambi and those "uncommitted" Ohio votes tank the rating line.

Did you notice that Begala had given Obama 2 points before he even said a word?

[Digger]

Mac was HORRIBLE. Off. Wheezy. Weak. Obambi was strong, confident and did his typical happy talk that goes over with 99.99999% of the masses who pick Presidents like we pick the American idol. Bookmark my post and come back in 5 days - Obambi will likely widen the lead, as much as it chagrins/depresses me to say it.

I couldn't agree more. The election is over.

[TonyInOhio]

ROTFL!

“LOL one of the people asked the priest is there was a devil. He said, “yes, he is having a debate right now with John McCain.”

LOL! Sounds like it could come from a movie - the old Irish priest gettin’ his lick in!

[AliVeritas]

Drill.

[paulat]

It’s a deal he has with the drinking game players. He’s just being a sport. :^)

LOL! I'm glad SOMEBODY has a sense of humor.

...and his wife DOES have a beer distributorship.... ;)
