Just bear that in mind when viewing a debate. Yes, they're useful to determine candidate policies, but you need to look at an entire incumbent's record when making educated decisions. And after all, I know many a self-described introvert here on the interwebs who would rather die than speak publicly before 40 million people, and yet they're still some of the smartest people I know.
If you think I am trying to say that I would make better decisions as a leader, let me assure you that's not what I'm saying. I have neither the patience nor the ability to look out for the interests of anyone but myself to make decisions even for a small group, much less a country.
Also, the only reason I'm even considering Romney to be a better candidate is -because- of Obama's record; the last 4 years tell most of the story, and his decisions from before his candidacy seal the coffin shut. Still not sure I'm even going to bother voting, though; both of them are just so terrible it almost seems like a bad joke that one of these two failures will be the most powerful man in the world, we shouldn't even be considering them to begin with.
