What would happen for younger Americans under Romney's plan?


The deficit









What is Romney's plan?



My head is still spinning tonight...Anyway, Jason (My lovely husband) is still undecided. He is a registered Independent that tends to lean more right. (Yea I know..We do not see eye to eye on certain He works 3rd **** so he didn't get to watch the debate Live. I DVR'd it for him and he watched it as soon as he got home. He told me neither candidates changed his mind one bit. He still "dislikes both of them" but "he understands Obama's policy and plan more after last night"...He says he's going to wait until the very last debate to make up his mind...So I guess the independent vote is really important for this election...
I know our vote doesn't count, but my hubby went from pro Romney to disliking him back to being in his camp.  I guess it wouldn't have mattered though..I don't think he would ever vote Obama if given the choice.  I've thought a lot about it, and still know that if I had a vote, last night would have changed nothing for me.  I would be voting Obama.  Not long ago I was undecided, but that 47% bit is something I cannot get past.  I just can't.  Amazing what an impact one comment can make.
"Amazing what an impact one comment can make."

Because its a comment that shows how He really feels. A lot of people fall into the 47% both republican and democrat. Words are powerful, especially if its coming from a place of truth. It's unfortunate for him but he managed to dodge that 47% bullet last night...To his credit, Romney did say today on Fox News that he was "completely wrong" in making those comments. I'm so ready for Nov 6th. I just want this to be done! One of them is going to win and we ALL will not know until about 10:30pm est on November 6th.
I think it might have meant more to me if he had said he was wrong to say that right after it happened.  It's a bit to little to late.  You know, like I said, I know my opinion doesn't actually count given I have no vote, but I still think my family is pretty representative of your average middle class.  So it always makes me wonder - how many people like me who really did see pluses in both candidates were so pushed the other way by comments like that.  I've heard it said by many a political commentator (from both sides) that it is not easy to unseat an incumbent President.  If that's true, then fair or not, Romney really does have far more to prove then Obama does.  I don't know, I will think Obama will win this.
