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.

Had to add my own $.02 here...NO FREAKING WAY OBAMA HAS WON THIS.

Frankly if the first 30 minutes were as effective as the last, I would agree. I pray voters remained for the entire 90 minutes.

McCain did great with his answer. Obama was lame as usual.

I have to keep telling myself that McCain is reaching out to the mushy middle. He’s already got us because of Sarah, and also because the alternative is unthinkable.

Well then all the demoncrats have to do to get their agenda implemented is to keep nominating an ultralib. Then no one would ever dream of voting for someone other than the Republican front runner.

He hasn't got me. Palin might have but she's handcuffed.

It’s like Rush said. How in the he** can anyone who is paying attention to this election be undecided at this point?

Another foreign policy question regarding Israel....and McCain will clean his clock. Obama has no idea what to do without his advisors.

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

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

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...”

Great observation. He knows what he wants to say, but knows it looks bad. So he makes a contrived statement. When McCain plays off it, the buzzer in Obama's head goes off, "Did I say what I wanted or what I should have?"

Oh he’s completely dominating right now.. Fauxbam just got schooled, and completely stumbled through a nonsensical answer.. It was as bad as the “breathalizer” moment, but damned close and certainly the worst I’ve ever seen in a Presidential debate.

One more question on MILITARY and NATIONAL SECURITY...

Including UN issues... Plays to the McCain and on same lines as other ones.

Basically would you go to the UN or Defend Israel if Iran attacked it.

McCain won this debate hands down... absolutely rolled Fauxbama.. rolled him, smoked him and bogarted him.
