Presidential Debates

With the debates in arms reach this week, we as voters have to start thinking about the issues we hold close to our daily lives. These debates are hopefully going to make or break this election for one of the officails and finally going to move beyond the personal attacks and start focusing on the issues. We as young voters have a great voice in this upcoming election and if just 80% of all young voters aged 18-25 voted we would have the largest voting brackets and would literally make this election. So my three questions are this. What issues do you want to hear the canditates speak about? Will you watch the debates or do you feel you already know who your voting for? Finally if at election time you didnt have a good grasp on who you wanted to vote for would you vote?

First of all, we are as voters, would want to know what will happen with the ecomomic of the country, how do we do with the drowning market, how many jobs people will able to keep to do? that are just some of the issues we want to hear the canditates to speak about. Secondly, the debates are still going to make the finally move, need to wait for that. Finally, I would not vote for the one I wanted to vote for when the election time came without a good grasp.

Would like them to cover the Economy and Education, and if it comes down to voting time and I still don't have a clear picture of who I am voting for then I just won't vote. I know it sounds like throwing my vote away but I wouldn't want to put my vote somewhere I didn't truly believe it belonged and in so doing I can't complain over who is elected if I don't vote.

I would love to hear the candidates talk about how they are going to get us out of the economic slump, because I as a young America feel like we are heading toward a new economic depression, and I am worry about my future if there is a another great depression.

Even though I should watch the debate so that I can come up with an educated opinion on which candidate to vote. I’m not going to because I find debates to be boring and just anothor way to humiliate your opposition.
