The "Undecideds"...another media concoction to make it look like a "race" |
|
After all, if it were a walkover either way, there go the talking heads, there go the ratings.
"I'll decide just before I go in the booth" said one woman on the air here recently. Like we are asking them to choose between German Chocolate cake or Devil's Food Cake. As if the choice isn't clear and the candidates are so close in philosophy that a last-minute decision is even possible. Please.

1. You know that penguin pic |
|
just cracks me up. Every time I go to read one of your posts, I get sidetracked by those damn penguins. But I'll try to concentrate on the topic at hand... Undecided = Apathetic.

3. When half the voters do not show up |

"Undecideds" are not the problem, it's the "Don't cares"

I think the real problem with America is that half of the citizens are too lazy or too ignorant (and many by choice, not just the state of education) to vote.
However, I must agree somewhat with OP, these undecides aren't for real. How could they be, unless they are all Greens or Libertarians or some other 3rd party who realize their candidate won't win and they want to choose between the two major parties.

If they haven't decided by now.they must have their heads in the freaking sand.........whats the deal with these people? Have they been on a different planet the past 4 years?.....or do they just want to get some minutes of national TV time?.......this to me just proves their ignorance............the results of this race should NOT be based on people who really don't know what the hell is going on in this race in the first place....they are getting WAY too much credit for being the factor!
