Excerpt
SUMMARY: Ray Suarez visits Orlando, Fla., to talk to voters -- some decided, some undecided -- directly following the first presidential debate. Were the candidates convincing? Did the voters hear what they hoped to from either side? They discuss jobs, President Obama's consistency, Mitt Romney's softer side, and the role of government.
JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): Next, two takes on last night's presidential match-up.
We start with Ray Suarez, who traveled to a Southern battleground state to gauge reaction there.
RAY SUAREZ (Newshour): We watched with a cross-section of Florida voters, Karlos Colon, a 30-year-old naturalized citizen and first-time voter who is leaning toward voting for Obama, 49-year-old Nancy Riordan, who's unemployed and planning to vote for Romney.
Retired schoolteacher 65-year-old Suzanne Kidd, is an Obama supporter. Twenty-year-old Chastity Pelham, a student at the University of Central Florida, is still undecided; 28-year-old Michael Weinbaum, a self-described social conservative, is also undecided. And Charlie Adkins, a 56-year-old real estate manager who is voting for Romney.
We met in downtown Orlando, in the heart of one of the most hotly contested regions of one of the most hotly contested states.
