So all those people in the audience at the "Town Hall" debate were professed 'undecided voters'?

The woman who sat behind Bush wasn't acting very undecided! At all of Bush's answers she scowled and folded her arms in defiance...I think I even saw an eye roll or two.

I've only encountered a few "undecided" voters this election and they are all arrogant-know-it-all types who I think are just trying to look "oh-so-intelligent", like they are wanting everyone know how hard they were contemplating the issues! Give me a break.

If you are "undecided" at this point you are either:

a. stupid

b. not paying attention

Have you watched the Samantha Bee's "The Undecided" skit on the Daily Show? It's hilarious! I think you'd like it.

I'm passionate about many subjects... politics, choice, lgbt rights, and feminism to name some of them. Choice in particular is a useful reference here... there are those who have strong opinions for and against... and there are those who have strong opinions in the middle.

That I have known for months for whom I will vote does not mean that another is a fool for not yet deciding. They are not me, and it would be both foolish and arrogant for me to think and assume everyone must have made up their mind just because I have.

One can find smart assed know it alls everywhere, on every side. That some would be among undecideds is not surprising. Neither is it surprising their is an undecided catagory.

Pretty interesting that your husband's opinions of Kerry changed b/c of his "performance" in a debate. Kerry's record of 20 years in the Senate is a whole lot more telling of who he is than what he will say in a debate to get elected. He is, by his voting record, one of the MOST liberal senators in office. If some see that as an insult then maybe they should look at what that says about a person...

Kerry can be critical of Bush's last 4 years from a safe distance. His voting record even recently doesn't reflect his positions he's taken in the debates. Many of the important issues Kerry was asked about, he didn't make the effort to leave the campaign trail to vote on!

I've yet to understand how Kerry can talk about all these "plans" and not elaborate on them. His plan to deal with the Iraq situation is nearly identical to what Bush is doing right now!

I'm not sure his slick talk and memorized responses will win over that many. Of course the "undecideds" will probably base their choice on "winners" of the debates and not actually listen to what they are actually saying.

Samantha Bee is hilarious. Not bad for a Canadian.

Good for you...but the majority of Americans do not align themselves with the liberal agenda...So it is important that they know what they will get with Kerry in office.

Bush is consistant. Kerry is re-creating himself on a weekly basis to try to appeal to as many as possible. Sure, that's politics, in a way. The Republicans have to hammer home Kerry's voting record and the weaknesses it represents in a global war. What some one says in the heat of an election does not mean as much to me as does what they have done in the past on a day to day basis. It all adds up and Kerry is not qualified to lead our country at this time.
