This was on ample display in the 2012 U.S. vice presidential debate. Brooks says independent voters may be turned off by a confrontational attitude, especially now that bipartisanship will be important to navigate through the challenges presented by debt and the deficits. These independent voters will also be looking for a credible plan to turn the economy around in the next four years.
