Point Blank: Who Are You Voting For in the Presidential Election?

As Barack Obama and Mitt Romney prepare for their first-ever presidential debate, many have made up their minds in advance about who they are going to vote for.

Some people favor Obama, others Romney. And some don't favor either of them. Now we ask you, Patch readers, to tell us who you are voting for and perhaps more importantly, why.

This is a discussion that is at the heart of the nation, and we would like to keep it clear of personal attacks, and respectful of the opinions of others. Know in advance that this comment board will be heavily moderated and we will be keeping the discussion going, in a respectful and civil tone.

That being said, who are you going to vote for and why?

The presidential debate between Obama and Romney is scheduled for Wednesday, October 3, 2012, 6:00pm–7:30pm PT., on all major networks.
