I didn't even have to
watch the second presidential debate to know what was going on.
That's the beauty of
social media.
While Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were battling it out, the nation's
journalists, comedians, politicians, and voters were busy analyzing,
fact-checking, and spinning every word coming from the candidates' mouths to
post it on the ever-growing-in-popularity media site Twitter. I watched
the Twitter feed during the entire debate and was thoroughly entertained with the comments I saw during it. Some of the people I follow—friends, not just
influential comedians, politicians, or celebrities—came up with witty remarks
and asserted their opinions on the matters that the president and governor were
talking about.
That’s when it hit me. Social media sites, like Twitter and even Facebook, are very influential to voters. We go to Twitter to see what people think of the issues. Even though we may not entirely agree with their opinions, we can respect what they have to say and we may even understand their views a bit better. It’s nice for people to have the freedom to write what they feel about certain subjects.

We shall see what the election brings Tuesday.
