FRONTLINE | "The Choice 2012" (full episode, English) | PBS

If you like this, support your local PBS station: http://www.pbs.org/donate || http://to.pbs.org/NlxwIa Visit FRONTLINE's website for an unprecedented collection of rare "artifacts" from the candidates' lives, as well as 25 full-length interviews with those who know the men best.

Mitt Romney and Barack Obama have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to tell their own stories, but in "The Choice 2012," FRONTLINE goes far beyond the headlines on a journey deep into their worlds, among their friends and family, critics, and closest colleagues, to understand what drives these men. Based on dozens of new interviews and hundreds of hours of research, FRONTLINE's authoritative profiles that emerge are also a portrait of America in an era of uncertainty -- and a guide to the choices that lie ahead.

The film will be rebroadcast nationally on Thurs. Oct. 18 at 8 PM (EST); Fri. Oct. 26 at 9 PM (EST); Fri. Nov. 2 at 8 pm EST. Check local listings here: http://to.pbs.org/gqVBaM

For those who think Romney will somehow mangically deliver your economic dreams, keep in mind when he was governor his state performed 3rd from the last. 47th out of 50. If he knew how to help a weak economy he would have done so as governor. As a businessman, he never actually made something, he was a venture (vulture) capitalist, and he had 50 million dollars investment to start and a rich connected family.

Her husband DID leave office with a balanced budget and a deficit under control. The Republican House would not work with Obama but his Democratic legislature was able to work with Gov. Romney. Maybe the difference was the party of the legislative bodies rather than the executives. Mitch McConnell made it very clear that he wanted Obama to fail regardless of what might happen to Americans. Independents and undecided-VOTE-vote Democratic - vote for logic, science and reason vs. anger and hate.

I can't follow this candidate election thing,... I think all those who seriously want to have a debate, run for office, should grab a "significant other" from the audience, and have sex on stage, ...only then can we chose our representatives

Politicians can only create government jobs (witch weaken the economy) so any politician who says they can change an economy is a lying scumbag.
