Undecideds
I really wish the MSM would stop with this undecided crap. They don't exist. Anyone who is at all politically aware has already decided. The rest will vote by what their parents taught them was right (sadly, probably McCain), or with the "in" candidate (Obama right now), or not vote.

1. Anybody who is "undecided" at this point...
...is either a complete idiot or a liar seeking attention.

2. i think they find them by asking: "What are you doing tonight?" and if the answer is "I don't know."
voila: AN UNDECIDED

undecideds. A lot of these people are torn over the issue of choice. They are "pro-choice" on the abortion issue, but they think everything else has been screwed up by the republicans. I have spoken to people like this at the phone bank. They aren't idiots. They are trying to reconcile their vote. Others have voted republican in the past but are working through the idea of voting for a democrat. Some may have some "issue" with race, but the better part of themselves is telling them that they are wrong in even thinking about it. I actually think they are decent people who are taking their vote seriously. I think it is unfair to think of them derisively.

6. I agree, cut them a little slack.
A recent article I read about several college students watching wednesday's debate indicated several were registered Republican, but were still undecided. None had voted before. I can understand the difficulty in deciding whom to cast your first presidential vote for. Credit to the young people for paying attention, educating themselves on the issues, and trying to do the right thing... I'm not going to bash them for still being undecided.

7. After phonebanking, my take on "Undecideds"
At least for the Obama campaign's calls, an "Undecided" is a McCain voter who is too chickenshit to own up to it.

8. On Potus Zogby said they don't watch TV except for L&O, CSI, and American Idol.
... as a proud Law and Order fan, I was offended at being associated with undecideds.
