DFW: Election

The article, Romney had the best night of campaign, Obama "fell flat," experts say.  Romney came to attack Obama and put him in defense mode without losing control, and according to the professionals, he did. They pushed back and forth about different subjects and as Obama seemed to "avoid questions," Romney answered them with confidence.

Romney had the best night of campaign, Obama "fell flat," experts say - The Denver Posthttp://www.denverpost.com/politics/ci_21694490/romney-had-best-night-campaign-obama-fell-flat-experts-say#ixzz28L369nTL

I believe I am independent. I do not want to, and I will attempt to never vote for presidents (because I don't like politics), but after playing this "game," it says that I should vote for Obama. I came in thinking I was going to come in 50% Obama and 50% Romney so that I could continue to believe that I'm independent, but as the questions were answered, it seemed that I agree more with Obama than I do with Romney. The game ended as 79% Obama and 29% Romney. You're expecting me to say "my thoughts have changed," but to be honest, politics still annoy me and I am still going to avoid voting for any presidents.
