Amen Rig.Sounds like you have them one-of-a-kind breakdowns too.Hard to understand how anyone could be an"undecided" voter this late in the game.My opinion is that those folks should NOT be allowed to vote at all.

Amen to your amen. The undecided vote in my opinion is what takes these elections down to the level that they are. The undecided seem to respond only to pandering and junk rhetoric. Polls swing with the wind. The candidates don't talk specifics because voting decisions for many undecided involve such things as "who would I like to drink a beer with", body language and such. An alternative to the war we have every 4 years could be that the presidency return to more of an executive function instead of a political one. Their job should only be to enforce the laws, to request the funds to run the government, and to communicate to the citizens and the world what the American government is up to. We do not need a king or queen. I thought we left that behind in Europe. This would take some of the political tension out of electing a President and put it where it belongs--the legislative branch. It would also help us elect a good CEO for the country. A good administrator. Not a political hack who has no skills other than his mouth. This last week with all the Joe the plumber stuff illustrated to me that these candidates have no idea about real world small business finances. (Economics 101--You don't get taxed on your gross) Sorry about long post.

I tend to think that the greatest majority of undecided voters at this point are those who think both sides stink and cannot decide who is the lesser evil. Quite frankly, I don't hold that against them. The ones who think both candidates are just hunky-dory and cannot decide are the ones who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the polls!

I believe the guy's name was Jim Hightower who coined the phrase--"the only thing in the middle of the road is a dead armadillo". There are huge philosophical differences between these tickets. Pick one that is closer to your beliefs. The fact that none of the third party guys got any traction testifies to the fact that either America is happy with the choices or there is nobody else.
