Off and on...

Washington Post published an article by Eugene Robinson titled “Obama’s off night gives Romney an opening.”  Robinson discusses the debate that happened October 3, Wednesday night. He argued that although Obama had a rough night, the race for president isn’t over. I could not agree more. It might have evened the playing field though. He believes most voters have already made up their minds, if so was true, Why all the hoopla? He continues that the “win” for Romney will have very little effect on the outcome. But not only was it a good night for Romney, it was a bad one for Obama, closing the gap between opponents I believe. I agree when he states that it took the Republican party out of a dark hole. Romney has made some significant blunders and the debate shed light on a very dismal outlook. I personally prefer a spit fire personality such as Romney versus a pensive one such as Obama. But everyone, including Robinson, has come down hard on Obama’s demeanor that night. Robinson also took the moment to point out all the issues Obama missed. This really solidified his liberal agenda to me. Accusing Obama of missing the dire questions that Romney previously hasn’t answered, which democrats feel like he can’t.

One thing that wasn’t discussed in the article which Governor Romney brought up in the debate was the redirection of government back to the state level as opposed to the federal level. I feel it was a really important topic and probably omitted because it was a strong point and his articles tend to be left-leaning.
