Presidential Debate Aftermath, Russell Daniels

In this article, it tells how Romney clearly won the first presidential debate. The polls before the debate stood at 51-43 with Obama in the lead. The poll now stands at 49-45 with Romney in the lead. Obama also lost quite a bit of popularity among women. In September, sixty percent of women favored Obama, while forty-two percent favored Romney. Now only fifty-one percent of women favor Obama, and forty-eight percent favor Romney. Even so, this could be short lived, seventy-five percent of voters agree that they don't belive that he can do what he says, but simply like him because he says it. This article was written by the NPR staff and was posted on Oct. 8. I disagree with this because I personnally believe that Mitt Romney is unrelatable (because he's too obscenely rich). I also think that his vice president, Paul Ryan was not a good choice, because
1. He opposes gay rights.
2. He'd get rid of social security.
3. His economic plan would cost 1 million american jobs in one year.
4. He would take more from the middle class and give it to the rich.
5. He has a philosophy that as long as he's okay, who cares what happens to you.
