We vote on Tuesday because Congress set that day.

His attitude is what I think makes him a better candidate. He always has the keep it going, never give up type of attitude and thats just what we need.

If Romney wins do you think we will go back into the same problems we faced before?
Yes, because he reminds me of Bush. The smile can tell a million and a half lies. Also for the fact that he switched his story time after time. He seems like the type to be all talk and no action.
