At a gathering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, geology major and first-time Republican voter Charles Epting was himself grinning widely after the debate, believing that his candidate hit a homerun.

“Where Romney really set himself apart is he wasn’t the stereotype of this old, rich white guy,” said Epting, 19.

Well, Charles Epting liked him.
