Presidential Candidate Editorial
2012 Presidential Candidate Editorial
The upcoming election is not only the most important time of the year in politics, but it could also be considered as one of the most important and vital elections our generation has seen. Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama both have very different and confrontational views in general, but more specifically in subject fields such as the economy, healthcare, and the taxes & budget systems. Although I am unfortunately not eligible to vote, I am definitely entitled to my opinion on who I believe is the best candidate to win the election. I believe that President Barack Obama would be best suited to run our country for the next four years because of his advancements over the past four years in the economy, health care, and taxes & the budget.
September 11th, 2001 is considerably recognized as the mark of the downfall of the United States economy, and the beginning of the Economic Crisis that we are still facing every day. President Obama came to power during the height of the Economic Crisis with a lot on his plate. The issues that former President Bush left for President Obama were more and are more than anyone could ever imagine taking on in a lifetime, let alone four years. When it comes to the economy, President Obama has done remarkable things to ensure we stay on the right path. “President Obama passed Wall Street reform to make sure that Americans would never again have to pay to bail out big banks.” ("Issues - Economy — Barack Obama."Barack Obama. N.p., n.d. Web. 28 Oct. 2012. <http://www.barackobama.com/economy?source=primary-nav>.) By President Obama passing the Wall Street reform, he has shown and backed up how much he supports the middle class and that middle class people should not be punished financially for the irresponsibility’s of the big banks. On the contrary, Governor Mitt Romney has always supported the upper-class businessmen and people as well. Although he has tried to show his

    Obama begins his argument on taxes saying that he wants to “relieve the middle classes,” of the increasing tax rates that are being placed upon them; as well as to “cut taxes for small businesses,” and allow them to grow and help our economy. Obama uses ethos and an allusion to refer to the time Bill Clinton was in office, and how the nation’s economy was high, there were more jobs, and that there was a “tax surplus,” the President uses this period as an example of what he wants our economy to become. Romney begins his argument on tax by saying that he also wants to bring tax rates down on middle income tax payers. As well as limit the higher classes and will not increase the spending of the middle classes. Romney uses pathos to appeal to the audience and focuses on the small business sector and how he will reduce the taxes to allow people to start up their own small business without really using foreign manufacturers. Although Romney replied to the topic properly, Obama had a more effective and direct argument to back up his statements.…

    Mitt Romney has the best on the ground organization, the best fund raising arm, and the best skill set to come across well on camera and on stage. He creates the impression of a strong, decisive leader except its pretty clear that a number of his opponents have been somewhat more successful at creating jobs and running their States. Mitt Romney may appear to be the ultimate candidate but other candidates have proven themselves to be strong leaders and have produced excellent results. The real difference between former Governors Buddy Roemer, Gary Johnson and Mr. Romney is they can't poll above 1% nationally and Mitt Romney has been a front runner from the inception of his campaign. That speaks volumes about Mitt Romney' organizational and leadership skills.…

    I am an independent voter, but even I can tell flip-flops and politicians do not go well together. As for presidential candidate Mitt Romney, one may need to second guess the correlation of the two. Extensive research of the two candidates running for presidency in the 2012 election led me to conclude Mitt Romney cannot be depended on to keep a definitive opinion, on how he plans to approach certain issues our nation faces. His character displays indecisiveness over and over again surrounding a few specific issues. The only thing he seems to be sure about is his political party status, a Republican, and his membership in the 1% club. Romney seems to be for or against any issue based on the majority opinion, so he can get the most votes. A few examples on the nation’s issues in which Romney has proven to “flip-flop,” are abortion rights, gun-control, and immigration laws.…

    Reasoning is a process we go through everyday. We reason weather we chose to eat an apple rather than a banana or if we should take the bus or walk. During the elections the American people seek reasoning on both sides: from themselves and from the candidates. The candidates for the election, Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama both interpret as much reasoning behind each argument to make it seem as realistic and achievable to the people. The voters apply reasoning to the arguments and plans put forward by the candidates to see which one seems to be most beneficial for their own interest as well as the interest of their families and that of the American population. In the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney was a key figure and was according to most Americans the dominant figure in the debate. He had…

    Presidential candidates tweak their political formats and focuses depending on a scientific study of American’s interests in different demographics. This scientific process is studied by one company called Spectrum who specializes in electoral demographics. During the study this company examines “voting patterns of people based on their similarities and differences” (Spectrum). The information this company provides includes ways to look at the voter profiles, demographic poll maps, and ad targets.

    When I took oath as president, just four short years ago. Much has changed, though for some of you, I agree it hasn’t been enough. This election isn’t about whether I am the best president, which I do not claim so, this election is about who will perform better in office. That would be me, or my competitor, Governor Romney. I have spent the last four years, trying to get us out of this financial mess that has put unemployment rates as high as 10%, one of the highest rates since the Great Depression. This mess that seems to be the theme of this election is no one presidents fault. There is no point in lowering taxes on people who have no problem paying them. Priming the pump is a long-term plan that will indefinitely help strengthen America’s middle class. With another four years in office, I will get unemployment rates under 6%. I will also decrease the increasing rate of global climate change, something Governor Romney is neglecting. Finally, my position on health care is to make sure all Americans are insured and don’t go bankrupt in the process of paying medical bills.…

    Throughout the midwest the votes were predominantly for Mitt Romney; subsequently, the east and west coast were all in favor of Barak. Obama had won the electoral votes for all of the swing states besides North Carolina, in which Mitt won by a 2% margin. In Kansas there were only two counties whom votes were in favor of Obama, the rest of the state was in support of Romney; however, Kansas’s electoral vote is only worth 6 points. The Electoral College gave Obama a much larger lead (61.7%) rather than the actual popular vote (51.01%) would have. Through this election I learned how important the swing states are when candidate’s campaign, and the need for their electorate vote to win the election.…
