[WakelessDream 2,282]

It would be ignorant to say he didn't win :0 but anyways even if he did do good, my views aren't changed, I'll be voting for Obama come November time.

My favorite part is the 47% who would vote for neither.

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

I actually kind of figure he would win. I didn't watch the debate {I forgot there WAS a debate, silly me} but my dad wanted to watch it.

Honestly, now I just want whoever the new President will be, that they will work on that health care for 9/11 first responders. Because right now me, my mom and dad are living off of just his pension and he get's no disability money and we're pretty broke. So we need that health care anyway.

*Doesn't live in the US*...Uhm...Go Obama!

Well then you don't want Romney.

[DragonMaster 1,166]

Yeah, Romney was definitely the stronger debater. I was disappointed with Obama's performance, I know he can do better, his speeches show as much.

 

Still, the debate did nothing to change my opinion (except confirm my suspicions, Romney is gonna give these his all, and that he's a great debater). I still prefer Obama.

In a close election like this, the debates are important as they will influence the crucial swing states.

The first debate is the most important. If Obama can't be on his A game for the first debate, how can we expect him to be on his A game for the second debate or even four more years in office. Also the vice presidential debate will go to Ryan hands down. Biden is a total idiot, even my Democrat friends completely agree with me. Plus the Vice Presidential debates aren't all that influential towards the outcome of the election.

Both candidates will make sure you and others in a similar situation are cared for. They just have different ways of going about it. The media lies. Obama doesn't want to turn America into the Soviet Union and Romney doesn't want you to go without healthcare.

Speaking to a crowd that will probably applaud at everything you say is very different than speaking to a crowd that will criticize your every move AND to the person who's trying to take your job away.

[Sonic 487]

just to lighten up the mood

 

 

other than that though. im still not sure who i'm voting for. It's gonna take a long time just to fix everything up, and both candidates need to figure out what to do instead of i guess "going at each other's throats" in a sense

Some maybe. But our country is stubborn. Most people know who they are going to vote for just because of party.

I don't come from America but... please don't let Obama loose guys...

[OthersiderME 614]

I dunno, there was that quote where Romney corrected himself after stating something about "the poor kids" and said something like, "I mean, lower income families." And did anyone else notice the color-coded ties? Especially how Brian Williams wanted to look neutral and wore a purple tie?
