I just wanted to inform everyone that the second presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain is scheduled for tonight (Tuesday).

George · 7th Oct 2008, 12:34 AM

Ugh I'm going to be at school while it's on. X_X

I'll be sure to watch it online..

Wander · 7th Oct 2008, 04:43 AM

Same time as usual? I look forward to it. I just hope it covers more domestic policies than the last presidential debate.

Steam Giant · 7th Oct 2008, 04:55 AM

As was said by a wise radio talkie person whom I enjoy listening to (and yet, have no idea what his name is!), this debate is more or less McCain's last chance to get back on the horse. Obama's taken the lead, and just like in any kind of sports game, if you allow the opponent to gain an advantage, you have to get back on top of things immediately, or they'll just keep on going.

He needs to do better than he did in the first debate. Most people considered the first debate to be a draw. If the same can be said for this one, or if Obama ends up "winning," then the final debate will be little more than a formality. McCain has to "win" this debate. It is crucial to his success in this election that he does.

Please do tune in, people! Even if you won't be able to watch it live, watch or listen to a recording!

Steam Giant · 7th Oct 2008, 03:42 PM

It won't be long now. Don't forget to watch this! This is an incredibly important event for this election, and could prove to be pivotal in determining its winner, and our future. You won't want to miss this!

Adam · 7th Oct 2008, 03:49 PM

Ill probably watch it for a bit, probably get bored of it quick though.

**EM68** · 7th Oct 2008, 03:55 PM

I'll be watching in. The town hall format will be interesting.

7th Oct 2008, 04:10 PM

Crap, I have class Tuesday nights.

Ah I hate school!

sdc91 · 7th Oct 2008, 04:40 PM

I have to work 7-9, but there's a TV. I'm not sure if it works. If not, maybe I can catch the last 30 minutes or so.

Zak · 7th Oct 2008, 04:41 PM

I'll be watching like always!!! I always do.

, while making fun of them...of course!

7th Oct 2008, 04:52 PM

What times is it on? lol

7th Oct 2008, 06:42 PM

7th Oct 2008, 06:56 PM

What hot guy? All i see is a bunch old bold guys lol

7th Oct 2008, 07:13 PM

I'm watching it right now.

Nodnarb · 7th Oct 2008, 07:59 PM

McCain needed to have a big night tonight to give him a boost in the polls.

Nothing of that sort happened.

This election is still Obama's to lose.

7th Oct 2008, 08:01 PM

i still think obama is going to win. McCain's weakness being the Economy is hurting him in the polls

beckyg · 7th Oct 2008, 08:04 PM

Well I didn't hear much of anything new in this debate. However, it was pretty funny when the candidates were blocking the teleprompter and Tom didn't know what he was supposed to be saying.
