America's election: Everything to Play for

I chose to read this article as a follow up to the presidential debate on Wednesday.  I watched the debate but, honestly, a lot of the economical/financial/tax-y stuff went way over my head.  I wish I understood it more because I think they're very important topics and I feel like, as a voter and journalism student, they're topics I should be informed about.  But anyway, the reason I chose to read this article was to (hopefully) clear some things up.  Although this article did clarify some things, it did a better job at clarifying what the debate meant for the candidates and how far they both have to go before election day.  Something I noticed from this article was that there were not that many quotes.  I didn't think this was a major drawback because the article did a really good job at describing what the candidates said but it was something interesting I noticed.
