1st Debate in Denver Tonight: Thoughts?

Is this a reality or a lie?

 

 

 

Jill Thacker was dying for a cup of coffee when she recently ran into a 7-Eleven convenience store. To her pleasant surprise, the coffee was free -- as long as she would commit to drinking it in either a red Mitt Romney cup or a blue Barack Obama cup.

 

"Which are you going to choose, Mom?" her son asked.

 

Which, indeed. A gun-owning, big-government-hating Republican, Thacker's every instinct told her to buy a Romney cup. But Thacker, 56, and her daughter have asthma -- a pre-existing condition -- and with Obama as president they'll be guaranteed the ability to buy insurance.

 

Thacker stood in the 7-Eleven and stared at the red and blue cups, stymied by the choice they represented.

 

Some Republicans told CNN they would never vote Democrat, even though they might benefit from Obamacare, while others said they will switch their vote because of health issues. (and suffer for it)

 

"The real question is: Could defections in this group make a difference in states where the race is close, such as Virginia, Ohio or North Carolina?" Traugott said. "I think in those states it's so tight they could make a difference."

 

Several groups of people would fare very differently under Romney's health care plan than they do under Obamacare, such as those with preexisting conditions, which can range from anything from back pain to cancer. Between 20% and 50% of all Americans have a preexisting condition, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.

 

Today Obama stated that "he didn't blame anyone for voting for Romney over him". He went on to say that "the only reason that he is even voting for himself is because he is black and also that he really likes the idea of getting all of these wonderful benefits for four more years".
