This election before late April seemed to be an election based off of the US economy and jobs. However, it seems that the election has switched to a foreign policy and defense budget election. Because of Obama's recent announcements regarding Afghanistan, Mitt Romney has taken advantage of the opportunity to present his ideas. Obama wants to cut the defense budget, while Romney wants to increase spending on our defense. Since a lot of people's big issue this coming November is spending and also foreign policy, this discussion can link to this "x" amount of people and also link into fixing the economy from the recession.
The three things I've learned from my topic is that; one, the delegate strategy from Ron Paul that people didn't think would work actually works. Two, not popular topics before like foreign policy and social issues are becoming popular with the article above and also Obama and Biden's open support for same sex marriage. And three, this race has been quite a wild one with the sudden lead changes, shock victories, and how far this race really went.
