Did you watch the presidential debate last night? Wow! Talk about fireworks! I’ve never seen such an exciting war of words. In fact, I half expected the President and Mitt Romney to throw down their microphones and wrap their hands around each others throats, like they do sometimes in various European Parliaments. There is no love lost between these two, and it felt like they both threatened to cross over from bold debater to inconsiderate jerk. The debate was focused toward the undecided voter. Did it help you make up your mind? Too bad your vote doesn’t count.
Your vote in the poll inside this story carries more weight then your actual vote at the poll. That is, if you live in Kansas or Missouri. If you’re an Obama supporter, why even go to the polls on election day? Romney is expected to carry both Kansas and Missouri, which is why you aren’t seeing the candidates here. They are focusing on the “undecided” states like Ohio, Colorado, Virginia and Florida. With the way our electoral system is set up, those voters votes mean more than yours. It’s a shame the popular vote can’t elect the president. If it did, then you’d probably see a lot more people across the country actually vote on November 6th.
Late, late, late. However...
