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.

McCain needs to get fired up like Sarah. Let Obama have it!

[pghoilman]

it is what it is. listen to what he says if you can, my friend

[Gondring]

I’d love to see McCain bring up something like, “here’s a guy who is so sensitive that he considers his own middle name to be an insult. My middle name is Sidney; you can say it out loud if you want.”

I like it.

Without that sort of stirring, Sen. McCain will seep down the drain.

Hussein wants the USA to REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION TO HURT RUSSIA!?

What a dolt.

[TennTuxedo]

Obama started weak and he is getting weaker and his answers lamer by the minute.

[April Lexington]

yES, STOP CAMPAIGNING RIGHT NOW. Don’t break our perfect recortd of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

[Jackson57]

WELL STATED!!! All of those that are wanting McCain to attack Obama in this format are wrong. He did great in Albuquerque yesterday, right where he needed to. But, as you said, he’s in our living rooms tonight.

[RasterMaster]

"Abbey Normal?"

Obama didn't bring this one tonight!

[plain talk]

"Who LOOKS more Presidential tonight?"!! WTH kind of a question is that?

.. That is a very important question to ask. That is what often decides how independents that don't vote party line and don't follow politics - vote.

[Political Junkie Too]

O is double talking on Israel. Making it about Iran. Energy Consumption is saving Israel?

"Palin might have but she's handcuffed."

Must.... not.... allow.... mental.... images....

[rintense]

Obama just blew this question as well- he didn't answer it! He's putting diplomacy first instead of defending Israel!!! He JUST lost the Jewish vote.

McCain camp, make an ad with his lacking answer ASAP and run it over and over again in Florida.

[sball]

Ha Ha, he said, Poooooooo.

[PhiKapMom]

You obviously are not watching the same debate some of the rest of us are but then being on here less then a year we have had more experience.

Throwing in the towel is not what conservatives do BTW!

[mnehring]

You are absolutely correct. They where not a satellite of the Soviets, they where run over by the Soviets.

[WalterSkinner]

..that’s encouraging

[They'reGone2000]

You’ve got my vote.

[anniegetyourgun]

That “honor your service” statement from Obama was so perfunctory....clearly not sincere.
