Another Presidential Debate and 20 More Days...

Well it's coming down to the wire folks. We're just twenty days away from the election. President Barak Obama and Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney go head to head for the final debate tonight and I'd be surprised if they both don't come out with guns blazin. Especially Obama, since he really took a whippin in the first debate and to come with another dismal performance could easily seal his fate. On the other hand, you have to wonder if we'll really see any specifics as to how either of them intend to turn our country around to becoming the respected world leader that we've enjoyed for the past century or will they spend the majority of the debate bashing on each other. Are politicians ever going to come to grips with the fact that the American people are sick of that nonsense. We want to see results and hear the well thought out plans that will bring about positive results. Not see how masterfully you can air out this other guys dirty laundry. I know...I'm ranting....but it's my blog, so I can. Enough of me....what about you? Will you watch the debate tonight? If it's passed and you've seen it already, what are your thoughts? Was there a clear winner? Regardless of who wins the debate and eventually the election...do you suppose they will be able to turn our nation around? Exactly what will it take to get us back on track??? If you ask me...Nothing Short of a Miracle!!!

Was It A Draw???

The Vice Presidential debate could've easily been viewed as a "draw" by many voters. The republicans can be proud of Ryan's poise and preparation while the democrats can safely say that Biden vindicated the democratic party after President Obama's poor performance last week. What the democrats won't say is how pompous Biden looked as he constantly tried to act more like "Uncle Joe" schooling his little nephew rather than the Vice President facing a worthy opponent. I was fine with the content of the debate, I actually found it entertaining but Biden's constant condescending antics and belittling jeers became annoying. I would definitely state that Ryan held his own against Uncle Joe and noone could deny that he was quite the statesman. What was your take on the debate? Would you say there was a clear winner or was it pretty even?

Romney's Gaining

Since the first debate it seems that most of the polls are indicating that Romney has gained significant ground on Obama and may have perhaps tied the race. Wow...I never knew that the debate could have that much impact. I suppose I was under the impression that the majority of voters had already made a firm commitment to their candidate. I guess not. Well it seems that Obama better come out swingin in the next round or it might be "curtains" for him. Do you think he underestimated Romney in the first debate? Is it possible for him to redeem himself next week? What about Ryan vs Biden's Vice Presidential debate Thursday. Who do you suppose will take that? Do you think their debate will have much impact on the election? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The First Debate

Well they've had their first debate and the results are in. Everyone has there opinion as to who they think won the debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney. Most people will simply say that "their candidate" won. The Twitter responses would probably be the most accurate response from the public. The Twitter tallies actually showed that 20% more debate watchers felt that Romney won this first round. What are your thoughts? Did you watch the debate? Was there an obvious "Winner" to you? If you missed the debate I've attached video links of the debate below. Be my guest and enjoy.
