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.

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

EXACTLY!

Great tagline.

[Tarantulas]

Obama just lost the Jewish vote by flubbing that question about Israel and Iran.

[mylife]

Awww.... There is the radiant Michelle.

[Dissident1]

Whaaaaaat? According to o, Iran is a small irrelevant country.


...cost benefit analysis... that's the dumbest answer I've ever heard.

I think McCain was so mad at Obama’s first lie about him (McCain has former Frannie or Freddie guy working on his campaign) that he was just trying to keep himself from exploding at the guy. You know Obama was trying to push McCain to blow up or choke him on the stage. So, i think McCain tried to keep his temper in check...difficult thing to do when you have to debate a “terrorist-loving guy from Kenya who may not even be a US citizen)
And the format was hardly a town-hall environment - it was a “staged town-hall)
I think McCain will do alot better in the 3rd debate...when he can respond directly to Obama’s lies)
Hey, Obama killed himself in this one.........hopefully, the next one will be a knock-out by “The Maverick”

[ninergold3]

He asks his WIFE! ! !What a bloody moron. That was a loser answer...

[Irish Eyes]

Why on earth does McCain need to hit a home run? You are allowing the dems and the media to set the standards. How about this: any inexperienced upstart who want to be commander in chief must hit a grand slam home run before he can even be taken seriously

That is WAY too intelligent and sensible.

When I don’t know something, I get it from her?!!!! Guess we need to know what she believes!

[merry10]

He cannot jump on him every time. He only has two minutes to answer the ? if that.

[Miss Didi]

No way...did you see those folks in the diner this morning in Ohio with Brian Wilson? They were blue collar workers voting McCain. There is no way that this man child will be President.

[RangerM]

What don’t you know?

Obama: “A Lot”

[antivenom]

Zen = Michelle

OMG!!!!

[TV Dinners]

He learns by asking his wife, Michelle!!!!

[Abigail Adams]

Last question: What don’t you know, and how will you learn it? Probably from a fluffy liberal!

[Libertarian4Bush]

we don’t have enough time for what obambi doesn’t know.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Answer the question you jerk.

[beaversmom]

We are not talking about housework you big eared dummy!

[Bender2]

This is such a boring debate but I do feel John is doing better than Barry, but what do I know? I'm a Conservative Republican...

"What don't you know and how do you know it?" You do not have to be soothsayer or have a PhD from a elite liberal university to see these questions were picked by an MSNBC twit!

Was clicking round the channels seeing how they are broadcasting the debate and CNN has a plus/minus monitor bar graph running from Undecided Ohio Votes.

To me how any sane person can still be undecided is beyond me, but for what it is worth, it is fascinating to watch this as these Undecided Ohio voters are going head over hills for nObama each and every time, but McCain barely gets a rise from them. How fair and balanced of them!

I tuned into a debate and a pillow fight broke out. (And I am suspicious that Nobama was briefed.)

[RasterMaster]

“Obama may need to check the books.”

And consult a few attorneys before acting.
