Poll question: Question re: Undeclared Super Delegates
Do you have a positive, negative, or neutral view of Super Delegates who are still undeclared?

2. I particularly don't understand someone like Gore; I heard this
a.m. he is undecided. How can anyone be after so much time has gone by? Sounds wishy-washy to me.

3. No big deal - people have a different idea of what their roles are in a campaign

Some believe becoming advocates during the process, some believe in staying above the fray

Both are legitimate, individual points of view

12. Thanks.
There's been a lot of talk about why they don't all end it now.

I'm with you - NBD.

4. Both.
I admire the ones using their vote as leverage. I don't admire the ones waiting to see which direction the wind will blow.

6. I Heard This Morning That Gore Still Is Undecided........
come on now - how can anyone believe that? You can't tell me he hasn't made up his mind yet.

7. Negative, with an exception...
I wouldn't blame those undeclared in states that have not yet voted, if there are any (I'm not sure if there are).

The others have seen the candidates as close as they are going to get, they've seen the interaction with their constituencies, they've seen the campaigns in full stride.. they know the candidates and they should be able to decide who they feel would be the best candidate based on their own impressions, their performance in their states, and the votes of the people.

If not, they are either ultra-cautious or plain spineless, IMO.

9. I didn't know
Gore was a super delegate.:shrug:

I am neutral.

I think this thing is playing out like a normal election cycle.

If you can call it "normal."
