3. Pick the biggest gaffe from tonight and ask the precipitating question . . .
Alternatively, "Given her record before and after your selection of her, what made you think that Sarah Palin was prepared to be Vice President?"

6. How about this?
Mr. McCain, you are a true hero, with your POW time and all.

With all respect, Sir, how does that in any way prepare you to be President?

12. You should be thrilled
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 01:10 AM by Egnever
why in the world would you be unhappy about it? Unless they passed up an opportunity to go to an obama rally.

politics are incredibly interesting.

As a question why not ask. I heard you say in the debate that bad mortgages are the root of our current financial troubles. Could you explain how those mortgages came about and did the low fed interest rates have anything to do with creating the bubble?

13. Um, why is your son's class going to a McCain rally in the first place? The question--
Why wouldn't you look at Obama in the first debate or shake the hand he extended to you last night?

31. The question should be why his Politics class is 'supporting' McCain.
I wouldn't let my son go. Period. This is wrong and you should fight against it.

38. Is this class going to attend an Obama (or even Biden) Rally? Then, maybe OK. But...
I don't see how the school can support this biased activity.
During an election students are not being "educated." They are being endoctrinated.
Teachers need to use acute discretion.
Does the Administration of the school and/or school district know about this trip.
I'd be surprised.
Reallllllly surprised if they do.

34. Did you ever earn a salary from anyone other than the American taxpayer?
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 08:09 AM by Onlooker
From what I have read, McCain has only worked for the military or the Congress, and has never held a job in the private sector, unlike Obama.

40. Senator,
you have said that Sarah Palin knows more about energy than anyone in the country. If she knows more than anyone, she should be speaking about nothing else in this time of energy crisis.So why won't she share her vast knowlege by answering questions from the American people on this very important subject?
