    Just your regular voter.
    Hello:

    I'm a wonk. I live, eat and breathe politics. You guys do too. I heard a statistic on the news today that 1 in 3 voters have YET to make up their minds. Wow. If they haven't made up their minds by now, what is the game changer going to be? Will it be a TV commercial? A personal appearance? The one who's name is at the top of the ballot? Really. I don't know.

    Frankly, I find it hard to believe that your average voter doesn't know where they stand. But, I don't get out much. What do you think?

    But look at what we voters have to pick from. I'm going to do a write-in -- YOU.

    It might also be part of the information revolt and people simply aren't stating who they are voting for. And as always the ever popular "none of the above".

    If they are going to vote then they are lying. Either that or they are the so called " independents" politicians spend an inordinate amt of time wooing and convince by watering down their core positions .

    There will not be much difference next Tues than there are in early polling results . So who are they kidding ?
    These are the people who really do believe that ODonnell is a witch ,or that Rand Paul worships an Aqua Budda .

    I have not decided for governor here in Georgia,
    It is like which of the Max Brothers do you want in office.

    Same here in Illinois. At least I won't have to vote for mayor of Chicago when the time comes (don't live there). Jesse Jr. bowed out today.

    Ex I can't say whether attitudes of people I meet mirror those of people where you live, but people are very confused today. They have found that, in recent times, they have been told some spectacular lies by those they trusted to lead. So they are less ready to committ and are certainly examining the alternatives. You could almost call it the great awakening. Sadly you are not offered a range of alternatives and that leaves you in a position where the devil you know may not be the better choice
