I don't believe at this point, there are so-called undecided voters

Are they waiting for fucking cookies or Oscar Meyer wieners to be handed out at their front door to vote? You are either a scum-sucking brain-dead Robme voter or an enlightened hope for the future Obama voter, there is no fucking middle ground.


There are the people who won't vote, which is a pretty large chunk of the population, but they're just lazy fuckwads.


Undecided, my wrinkled old white grumpy ass. Make the choice or stay home.

3. Well, you may be right. Possibly not. I'll give it some thought, talk it over, decide tomorrow. . .

You'd be surprised.

Lots of folks don't even give much thought to the election until after the debates.

that they might tune into the debates during commercial breaks but that is it. They don't keep up with much news. They simply are not interested, but someone has badgered them into registering and nags them to vote.

Often these are the people who don't make up their alleged minds until the last minute.

It's truly frightening that these people decide our elections, and that the Democratic Party has to spend so much time, energy, and money chasing them.

There's a lot of people that vote and aren't political junkies as some of us.

They don't belong to any particular party and don't pay attention until the debates.

I would be interested to see how long it takes them to shop for the basics or answer a multiple choice test where they were given the answers in advance.

11. And on the baseball boards they can't believe there are people who don't know who's in the playoffs.

You get a distorted picture of average people when you spend a lot of time on specialized discussion boards. Many people really don't give a shit about the election at this point.
