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.

*Snerk*.

Try reading the *internals* of the polls, when you get a chance.

E.g. The Washington Post poll from last week which had a 9% Obama lead?

It sampled 52% Dems and 38% Pubbies.

Even with a 14-point headstart, Obama only comes up ahead by 9.

McCain landslide in the offing.

Cheers!

Every foreign policy question McCain answers he gives the entire story explaining the history of the specific issue, etc. and what his plan is for it. BHO stutters.

McCain and team should not let Obama get away with Agreeing on questions. What it does is diminish the differences between in Libs and conservatives.

That shite gives an advantage to Obama.

Did Hussein just call Latvia a "former soviet satellite"?!

I don't think the people of Latvia would consider themselves a SATELLITE....someone correct me if I'm wrong, but what I remember from history is that Latvia was OVERWHELMED and taken over by the Soviets...made part of the USSR.

You’re welcome, the DUmmies will be along shortly and it’s a lot easier to get out ahead with so few votes than to try to make up ground later after thousands have added their vote.

McCain presses flesh in endearing moment with audience member.
He’s doing much better now than in the first minutes.

Yes, this question about defending Isreal is designed to trap obambi.

” He talks a lot, but says nothing of substance.”

Gurgling noises and throat clearing pblegmy sounds are the majority of Obama’s responses.
I am shocked..shocked ( seriously ) that Obama has tanked this badly.

The uncommitted CNN voter’s opinion surged with everything Biden said, and dropped with everything Palin said...I don’t trust them.

Listen to Luntz’s group, at least they’re more impartial.

McCain is finishing very strong, while Obama can’t seem to put a coherent sentence together!

He did seem to stumble a bit on that Russia question. 0bama seems to be finishing a bit more weakly than he started.
