There is a huge block of undecided voters out there
Anywhere from 10% to 20% according to the polls.

Who will most likely get these votes (and the additional votes as other candidates drop out)?

1. Not Hillary
I know there's a lot of people who like Kucinich and Richardson. They're certainly great candidates, but aren't going to win the nomination. There are even some people who are backing Biden, Dodd, and Gravel, but they aren't going to win either. If all of these candidates got out of the race, I believe that most of their supporters would back either Obama or Edwards. I think that might just be wishful thinking though...

10. Yeah, I think you're right...about that wishful thinking.

I can tell you one person you're wrong about: me. I'm undecided - but HRC is one of the one's I'm considering. One of the few. So, she's got a good chance of getting my vote.

Without knowing anything about us undecideds, how can anyone make a prediction??

2. I don't know. There are supposed to be lots of Pub's who are
quite unhappy with their current field of candidates...it could be them?

4. Of course I'm biased, but I think Obama is in the best position to get those votes
Given Edwards's current position.

5. What the hell are they undecided about at this point in time?
If you have any sense at all, you will vote Dem. If you are a dumbfuck dittohead, you vote Pub. NO ONE should be "undecided."

7. They are undecided about which Democratic candidate they will vote for.
Does anyone understand the process? This is primary time.

9. At the rate the Dems are tearing one another apart -
come election time all the Reps have to do is rehash Democratic quotes about one another. I'm fed up to the ears with all three! Right now, none of the above!!!

13. Agreed
I talked to people on election day who hadn't made up their minds. Unbelievable. I'm sure they voted for whatever candidate the last person they spoke to supported.

14. I believe there is a much larger block of undecided voters.
More like 80%. Most people haven't even thought about making their choice.
