The presidential candidates are in town, the national media have arrived at the University of Texas and the debate-watching parties are preparing to rev up all across Austin, Texas. As word spread of the presidential debate was going to be held in Austin there has been a big whole hoopla about it. I must admit it is pretty exciting to see the presidential debate in the city you live in. It very historic to be able to see this debate or even hear it, or to have the chance to see maybe the first African American or maybe the first women president. The thing that really bugs me is that they are only allowing a certain few in to see this debate. I think it’s only like 100 people and the rest is all dignitaries. They way I see it if you want to reach out to the people and make an impact on the nation at lest have it where that you can speak to a really big group of people so a lot more public can go and see this event. So, you wouldn’t have a lottery system to pick the certain 100 people that can go. Especially in a state that is Republicans, but in a resent poll more than 12,870 Democrats voted Tuesday and Wednesday, compared with about 2,675 Republicans, the county clerk’s office said. So buy this debate its bringing out all the democrats to vote and make a change. They want to get the republicans out of office, and start a new presidency under the democratic party . All i have to say is let the little people in.
