Defecting Voters

10/20/12 By Gabriel Debenedetti

          Some McCain voters of 2008 have chosen to vote for Obama in the 2012 elections. Most of which are older white males. They believe that Obama "has done a good job with what he was left with, and I truly believe that allowing Mitt Romney in there is going to make the world a whole lot worse than it is now."a voter named Waltrip stated. Others believe more in character as William Holliday states "Right now if I had to choose it would be Obama, because he's more personable," said William Holliday, a 58-year-old retiree from Convis Township, Michigan. "Romney has changed his position so many damn times, you don't know what he thinks at all. But they're both liars." These voters seemed to pick the candidate that could relate with them more.

          The author leans toward Obama more since he states what some older citizens think about the candidates. If people were to read about what some other people think their own honest opinion about the election, it may make them think it over as to who they want to win the election and run the US. People should think about who they really want and think what both candidates can actually give to the US if they were president.
