Live-Bloggin’ - Round Two
Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain will square off in the second of three nationally-televised presidential debates tonight, less than a month before voters go to the polls to choose which one of them will become America’s next president.
At this point it’s Obama’s race to lose, as polls show him building leads in critical swing states and threatening to overtake McCain in typical Republican strongholds like North Carolina and Virginia.
Due to the phenomenal success of our live-blogging during the Vice-Presidential debate last week, FITS’ favorite contributor Mande Wilkes will once again be moderating our proceedings this evening.
Tonight’s debate begins at 9:00 p.m., but Mande will be hopping online before the debate begins to discuss expectations and field questions from readers.
Remember to e-mail Mande directly if you’ve got a question or comment you’d like her to address, and we look forward to your comments and insights on tonight’s action …

John McCain is used to force the election of Barack Obama.
Barack Obama forced you to pay for Wall Street’s bailout.
Stop the extortion, blackmail, bribery, and division;
Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, and Cynthia McKinney.
“The two parties should be
almost identical, so that
the American people can
‘throw the rascals out’
at any election without
leading to any profound or
extensive shifts in policy.”

Once again, another Presidential debate is keeping me from watching my favorite shows on TV. In case anyone cares, Chris Rock’s best movie, CB4, a rapumentory that spoofs Spinal Tap is on TV tonight at 8 p.m. That’s what I look forward to watching tonight.

the great merger of distinctive policy—the meltdown where one wonders what happened to the two parties, copycat talk creates an indistinguishable blob of rhetoric and who?s changing what?
