julsineya [31]

Swing voters are voters who don´t have a political affiliation or preference for any particular Party. The federal budget is a subject of great importance when it comes to elections, due to the fact that both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have different views regarding how it should be distributed.

Although belonging to the Republican Party, Congressman Paul Ryan supports the increase if government spending and financial deregulation of banks. These are both propositions very similar to the ones his Democratic counterparts state. In the 2012 presidential campaign, Mitt Romney aimed to find common ground with these swing voters in order for them to eventually give their vote to him.
