If a person watching the debate was ignorant of the issues, two things stood out very clear. One

that under romney/ryan roe v wade would be overturned, and two, the Supreme Court will have radically different appointments from Obama verses romney

One other issue they were pretty clear on, social security and medicare, and if you are 53 and 1/2 and been working most of your life, and are counting on social security and medicare, don't count on romney, they will privatize it

I'm beginning to think most undecided folks don't even know what Roe vs Wade is...so I think when they mention these things, they need to word it in a way they understand...if there are really people who are just now tuning in, then I don't think they have much knowledge about many of the issues. I may be wrong, but its hard to imagine why people are STILL undecided
