As the Presidential Debates Continue, heated discussion concerning our economy, the middle class, and unemployment, reached some new and not-so-subtle arguing points between the two candidates. During Tuesday's debate, Governor Romney was on the defensive. According to CBS and Newsday, the public felt that Romney began to "Interrupt" President Obama when discussing certain heated topics. The president was reciprocating and standing his ground, but in a way that seemed more subtle than Governor Romney. An interesting point in the night that resonated with younger voters, occurred when Adelphi University Junior, Jeremy Epstein, raised the question of How the candidates could reassure him that he, among other college students, would be able to find a job after graduation. This spiked an unexpected trend in the 'Twitterverse' and other social media websites. Jeremy, an undecided, first-time voter was the youngest person asking questions at the debate. He says in a Newsday article, "I'm representing a whole other group of people my age, people who are facing the exact same problems, who are worried if they're going to be able to move out of their parent's house and support themselves sufficiently." Apparently, Jeremy managed to strike the right chord among young voters and social media users. He got his deserving fifteen minutes.
