Obama/Romney Debate: ROUND II

[The_Lillard_King]

What I came away with after digesting all the information was that there was about a ten hour a week difference. The thing that held females back was the demands of raising children. There was very little difference in race, more was based upon education.

Believe me I understand that, I was a single father. I hadto take jobs that allowed my schedule to be more flexiable. Income was no where as good what I could hae made. BUT, it was a choice I made for my daughter.

I understand your point and don't ahve a problem when someone makes that choice. Issue I have is not everyone gets to make taht choice.

I have a problem when say 25% of the population is minority but 90% of the partners in all the major accounting firms in Portland are white males. Don't know if those are the current numbers, but I'm all about even playing field and making sure people can at least get on the feild to make those choices. The reality is it is a lot easier to be succesful in life if you come from money and have parents or relatives in positions of power. So it's not always about how hard you work, it's who you know. Don't know I to change it, but that is the issue I have problems with.

Just from anecdotal evidence, I've been amazed by how many of the big accounting frim associates are women who are gorgeous. I thought at some point those cute young associates would make their way into the partner ranks, but it still seems like 90% of the partners are white dudes who have a passel of young beauties doing their grunt work.

Gallup has actually shown a widening of polls in favor of Romney after the debate. Gallup is now 52%-45%. The day of the debate it was Gallup 50%-46%. Rasmussen has remained steady at 49%-47%.

I honestly have no idea what your point is with posting that in response to my post. Please explain?

Sorry I got distracted and forgot about this, but my point was that left leaning media will admit their defeat when wrong. I don't think they were necessarily going easy on Obama. But hey, I'm wrong often.

In the clip you sent, don't you find it pathetic that the left leaning media, even though they "admit their defeat", was almost needing suicide watch? That was a meltdown. Additionally, why in the world would a national media need to "admit their defeat"? Shouldn't they be neutral, thus making a defeat impossible?

Perhaps you're right, MSNBC and Fox News should be more impartial.
