I am voting for President Obama. He is a strong advocate for education and health care.
[Reply]
I voted (absentee in person) for President Obama primarily because as a woman, college student, and daughter of two teachers I could not imagine Romney being our leader.
[Reply]
I am so nervous because the race is so tied at the moment! I was so sure that Obama was going to win but after all the debates, I am not so sure. If Romney wins, I’m moving out of the country.
[Reply]
I believe this years polling will be rather close, many people support Obama’s views and legislation ideas. Health care, new jobs, taxes. But many people support Mitt Romeny as well. I mwould have to say that Obama bombed the first debate, but made up for it in the last two debates. Asfor my personal choice, I have yet to decide.
[Reply]
I will always vote for President Obama. Lots of people say we can take four more years of him, I say outher wise. At least Persident Obama will not bring womans rights back into the 1950!!! I as a proud woman I will not say yes to a conservitive President.
[Reply]
I think that Obama should win. Romney has so many points that I disagree with and he’s just not fit to be president
[Reply]
I am not able to vote so have not paid any attention to the election

I’m voting for Mitt Romney. He’s shown time and time again that he’s the candidate who constantly speaks the truth and that he truly cares about the American people. The priority of the government should be to reduce the deficit, and Romney’s plan to cut Social Security and Medicare shows that he’s willing to make the tough decisions. By expanding the size of the military, Romney proves that he cares about the safety of America, even at the cost of further raising this deficit. Mitt Romney is not only the best candidate , but he’s also the savior of the United States.

I dont like either of the candidates, but if I had to choose I would vote for Mitt Romney. I feel that Obama is taking away our personal freedoms. I think this will be a really close race.
[Reply]
I personally would vote for Obama because womens rights are important and what Mitt Romney isn’t seeing is that he is closing many doors to women and womens rights. Also Romney does not know what is good for the entire population because he has come from a very rich family and does not see the daily struggles that come out of being in the lower class.
[Reply]
Their both really big extremeist I dont really like either canidate is because Obama is a good person at heart but he hasnt really done anything and Mitt Romney is another republician who might be similar to our last republican president but only time will tell who going to win.
[Reply]
I can’t vote, but I’m a strong supporter of Obama. Romney has always been in the 1% and doesn’t understand or support the middle class. After the last debate, I think Obama is going to win.
[Reply]
If i could vote in the upcoming Presidential elections, I would vote for Obama because I believe that he is a better candiate for the American people because I agree more with his viewpoints rather then Romneys.
[Reply]
I can’t vote yet, but I would choose Obama. He has been a great president and has been a great help to my family. I know that I can rely on Obama, unlike Romney. If Romney wins, who knows what would happen to us?
[Reply]
If I could vote I would vote for Obama, because his beliefs coincide with mine. I am very liberal when it comes to social issues, so therefore Obama would be the candidate for me.
[Reply]
If I could vote, i would vote for Obama because I support some of the stuff he supports. Such as Pro-Choice. Im very Liberal person so i think Obama is the right candidate.
[Reply]
Obama really knows what hes talking about and has a greater view on the U.S needs. While Mitt Romney has not much experince and would not beinfit us at all. Obama put in great foundations to help the United States and is working with these foundations to make the U.S a better place, and it really wont take 4 years to do all this. If Romney came in he would smash down these foundations and try to build his own, not getting us anywhere! If Romney wins I’m grabbin’ my passports and moving out!
[Reply]
Obama made a promise to end the war a he did that. Anything else he’s promised is still in his plans but its on pause because he has to clean up a mess from previous presidents. I feel like giving Obama more time in the white house as our president would be the right thing.
[Reply]
I strongly dislike President Barack Obama. He promises change for this great nation, instead we recieve over a trillion dollars in deficit. Former President Bush may have started the debt, but it is Obama’s fault for tripling the debt. Mitt Romney has more experience than President Obama, gaining the role of a republican Governor in the liberal state of Massachussets, and starting an investment company from scratch. Barack Obama’s actions on foreign affairs are completely horrible. He declined to talk with the prime minister of Israel after he asked to sit down with him and talk about the conflict between Israel and Iran. US is a world power, and so far Obama is making us lack in that section. Mitt Romney’s plan to put the country back on track is somewhat risky, but it will prove to be worthy. His plans to cut Medicare and Social security is somewhat risky, but it will lower the deficit and help strengthen our military to protect this country. Mitt Romney may have some views that are questionable such as birth control and womans rights, which I do not understand. Neverless, it is much better than having a man who does not know what he is doing as President. Romney is the better choice to bring this country out of recession and I think Romney can create a new beginning for this great nation.
[Reply]
I would choose Obama because I trust his words. I don’t really know what Romney is saying and I feel as if he’s just going back on his words. I really can’t trust what Romney says and I don’t want him to be president if I can’t trust him.
[Reply]
I personaly do not belive that any of the canidites are fit humans to be the leader of the country. They both are liars who would do anything in order to get into the office and are both two-faced. However if I had to choose one over the other I would vote for Barack Obama not becuase I like him but as bad as the candidites he would not make as bad a president as Mitt Romeny. There are many major issues that I disagree with in terms of both of the candidites and I would love to have a political candidite who would tell the truth as well as being a leader who could be fair and just as well as being an uncorruptable leader of the United States of America.
[Reply]
I think that the best candidate out of the two is Obama. I wouldn’t elect someone who wants to take away womens’ rights… this country needs to advance, not go through a repeat of the past. Also, Romney seems to shift his ideas constantly, demonstrating his desire to appeal to the public – although nobody really knows his true stance, and that is pretty unsettling to me. We need a president who knows what they want to do, not one who is indecisive. Romney to me either just says what people want to hear at a certain point in time, or is just easily brainwashed… and neither one of those are what America need right now.
