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.

McCain demonstrated tonight, that in these peripous times, that Obama is not ready nor fit to lead this nation.

“Strong ending for McCain!”

Absolutely. He hit that last question out of the park.

I agree he closed the deal — COUNTRY FIRST — cannot ask any more of someone then those two words! Why do they just show Obama shaking hands — NBC and Brokaw are total Clymers.

SUMMARY: BORING DEBATE WON BY MCCAIN.

I'd call it a boring debate lost by Obama (although McCain came on pretty good at the end).

I think McCain won, but I don’t think he got the game changer he needs.

He still has a chance to take 0bama down at Hofstra. Plus, the Ayers, Rezko, Wright ads that will come will hopefully wake up enough Americans so that they will realize how reckless it would be to vote for 0bama.

I was right all along. I was underwhelmed. Neither candidate impressed me much at all. Again, McCain missed opportunities.

Too much negativism on this thread, but I am comforted by the remembrance that it was the same way during the Sarah/Biden debate and she won that hands down.

Maybe you'd see things a bit more clearly if you would have put down the bottle about 87 minutes ago.

Just sayin'

Well, I truly believe the election is already decided.

It's all over but the voting.

That said, what the he** is Obama talking about?

He has no idea.

All I'm hearing is something like: "Well, Tom...um...I don't know what I don't know. If I knew what I don't know, then wouldn't that be a contradiction in terms?...uh..."
