Mitt Romney is a must for president. We cannot be led down the same path Pres. Obama wants to take us. It is unbelievable to me that there are Americans among us that choose to support Obama over one or two issues and fail to see the bigger picture.

I saw some parts of the debate show and I noticed that Obama keep studying on education! In my opinion, I think he should concentrate on the US's economy first and education after that.

I am watching Biden vs Ryan debate. Biden has been very cynical against Ryan sometimes even kicking back his head and laughing. Ryan has been drinking a lot of water throughout the debate, I don't know if that is a sign of nervousness. When the issue of abortion was raised Biden quieted down a lot and became very serious. What were your thoughts about the debate?

A combative debate Thursday between Vice President Joe Biden and Republican challenger Paul Ryan came down to the issue of trust.
Ryan repeatedly criticized the Obama administration as taking the nation in the wrong direction by hindering economic recovery and weakening its influence around the world. Biden called several of Ryan's remarks "Malarkey" and challenged Americans to trust their common sense when judging proposals by the Republican challengers.
Forty-eight percent of registered voters who were watching the debate say Ryan won, while 44% say Biden won, according to a CNN/ORC International Poll. The sampling error was +/- 5%.
Tonight marked the only 2012 vice presidential debate. President Obama and Mitt Romney face off in their second debate on Tuesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley will moderate the event. Ref. CNN
Romney vs Obama (Hover)
These debates are showing the class of the contenders involved. Notice how both Romney and Obama use eye movements and disinterest in what their opponent is saying while both Romney and Ryan remain dignified with eye contact.
