The Huffington Post article “Presidential Debate 2012: Mitt Romney Gets His Moment,” describes what Mitt Romney will have to do in tonight’s debate in order to put himself back on the electoral map. The article used a few different polls to explain that Mitt Romney still has a chance of winning the presidential race, but he will have to prove that he would make a better president than Barack Obama. It highlights the prevailing attitude that Romney would do a better job of handling the economy, Romney’s likeability (or lack thereof, especially when contrasted with Obama’s), and the viewpoints of different American subsets (such as women, white males, and minorities) on both candidates.
This article is definitely newsworthy. The presidential debate season begins tonight and will play a role in the votes of many undecided voters. I thought the article did a good job of handling the subject. While President Obama’s policies have been well known to the public for the last four years, Romney is still in the process of introducing himself to the American people. The article decided to come at the story by spotlighting Romney because of this, which I thought was a good way to handle it. It did a good job of showing both candidates strengths and faults, and I wouldn’t have written it any differently.
This was very interesting. The articles that i have seen about the Mitt Romney have all been negative. Where did you get this article?
Good discussion, Hanna. And as the national discussion this week has shown, the debates are important.
