I don't care for either candidate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-324082 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:28:54 +0000 ladyfingers 324082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I don't view it as a waste necessarily, but it can be dangerous in certain states (like the one I live in, FL). Thankfully, in Florida, the candidate I'm most aligned with (he's not in the two-party system) has a good chance of cutting into the support of the two-party candidate I'm most terrified of. So I can actually vote the way I want and not screw myself into a president I despise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-324070 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:24:36 +0000 Grace 324070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Gong-show, I'm telling you. We have 3-5 leaders in the debates and they all talk at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-324039 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:16:14 +0000 mrsjyw 324039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: resident alien :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-324035 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:15:07 +0000 MrsBrewer 324035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: How come you can't vote?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-324024 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:10:37 +0000 ShootingStar 324024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It did not change my mind. I only watched the first half hour before I had to go to bed, but as usual I found the debates not that useful. The part I watched they were both arguing the entire time over whether Romney's plan would have a 5 trillion tax cut. </p> <p>Everyone's being very nice here so I won't go into detail - but basically I'm so incredibly disgusted with the person I'm not voting for and last night did nothing to help his image with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-324000 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:00:35 +0000 mrsjyw 324000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't vote, but DH's vote won't change~ I don't think most ppl would be swayed by pres debates one way or another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323998 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:59:47 +0000 DillonLion 323998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: That's a good point. I definitely do not live in a swing state. It was actually one of the ones you mentioned (Texas). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323990 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:58:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 323990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: I live in a swing state. MN, we change every year. And we have a decent number of electoral votes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323988 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:57:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 323988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: the person I wanted to vote for was originally running in the preliminaries but didn't make it this far. I would totally write them in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323984 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:56:23 +0000 luckypenny 323984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: idk. I have to disagree with highwire. Maybe if you live in a state that has a definite party vote (California, Texas, etc) but in an important swing state like FL or Ohio, a single vote could be the difference to the person you're voting for becoming president </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323970 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:51:22 +0000 littlebug 323970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It absolutely did not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323959 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:46:49 +0000 DillonLion 323959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: In my opinion, it isn't a waste to go and vote for a candidate you believe in and support, even if they probably won't win. If the two big ones don't do it for you, that's okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323954 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:45:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 323954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't watch... but I have to say I have no idea who to vote for. I don't like either candidates and feel that voting for any smaller party candidate is a waste of a vote since they never win. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323871 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:03:31 +0000 mrbee 323871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: they listened to Jim Lehrer? If that was listening, Canadian debates must be very different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323857 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:54:20 +0000 dookie32 323857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My vote is also not going to be changed by endless FB postings either- someone needs to communicate this to my family members. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323854 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:53:34 +0000 yoursilverlining 323854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. Although I wish my candidate had been more aggressive; at the end of the day my vote isn't about which candidate I prefer - it's the platforms and voting histories of the party as a whole that are most important as no matter what fluff a candidate might say, they need the full support of their party and will only get it if they don't stray too far from the established base. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323820 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:28:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 323820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still undecided, but it didn't help me much. Like you all said, so much is just canned responses it doesn't really help. I'm still leaning the same way I was earlier, but this didn't really push me either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323784 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:08:38 +0000 Grace 323784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being Canadian, I have no vote, but hubs was watching part of it (he's a political junkie), and you should be proud of both candidates. I loved that they didn't interrupt eachother, you could hear what they were saying, they listened to Jim Lehrer. I loved it. Canadian debates have disintigrated into shouting matches, you can't hear what anyone says and I swear, the moderator is there just for show. So, I'd take boring, predictable, unoriginal, etc, over the gong-show that we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323756 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 07:44:56 +0000 winniebee 323756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I agree it was a little boring and predictable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323746 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 07:39:43 +0000 Mrsbells 323746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I would think everyones mind is already made up by now. I feel like Obama really held back. Wonder why </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323735 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 07:29:01 +0000 mediagirl 323735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323734 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 07:27:10 +0000 LivsMama 323734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I dont think these debates so much change people's intentions as much as they sway the swing voters one way or another. It was one of the more civil ones Ive watched, but it seemed disorganized and just boring. I dont know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323673 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 02:25:01 +0000 Honeybee 323673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and it didn't change DH's vote either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323662 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:55:12 +0000 daniellemybelle 323662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I was disappointed in my candidate. I'll still vote for the person who best represents my views, but I'm less likely to put his sticker on my car for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323659 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:37:42 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 323659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-debate-change-your-vote#post-323657 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:33:19 +0000 luckypenny 323657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope </p>
