Tonight, as the presidential candidates traded blows in the final presidential debate, voters flocked to Twitter to discuss the merits of the foreign policy discussion between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. As reported by the all-knowing Twitter Government, over 6.5 millions tweets were sent out during the last of the 2012 presidential debates, with multiple trending topics on Twitter during the debate.

It's two weeks until election. Over a year of development and a large-scale marketing campaign starts the same day. At this point, everyone second-guesses the goal. Few give a crap about the perils. But most everyday Americans share the drive that pushes our team of 20-somethings.

On Monday, early voting began in Texas along with seven other states, including Washington, DC. No one is expecting any surprise upsets in statewide races in the Lone Star State, but voters in two important battleground states, Colorado and Wisconsin, can also head to the polls for the first time in the 2012 general elections.

Tonight's debate theme is foreign policy. President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will have an hour and a half to discuss in detail their positions on how the United States will influence the world's affairs in the next 4 years. The foreign policy for the Middle East will likely be at the center of the debate.

What should be done in regards to the nuclear program in Iran? Should the United States intervene in Syria? How much weight do Israel's needs have on the United States' foreign policy? How will we help the new democratic governments that hatched from the Arab spring?
