|
|
I wonder how those who go into the polling booths still undecided will vote.
I venture to say - the majority those kind will probably take the easiest path and go incumbent .
I know in the past I had a tendency to go that way - in state and local elections anyway. I never done that for National elections _________________ "Si vis pacem, para bellum" |

I think all this attention on the "undecided" is a lot of red herring.
What I do think is important, and not discussed, is that there are potentially a whole lot of sKerry quasi-committed voters who can be persuaded to change their votes. They will not appear as "undecided" because they're identified as "Democrats" by registration; i.e., they registered that way some time ago, but may have begun to change their minds when they started to realize they were in danger of backing the least qualified candidate in memory. |

Unfortunately, it's well documented that undecideds tend to break for the challenger about 60-40. However, the overseas military vote will heavily favor Bush (at least 70-30). On the other hand, dead people vote 10-1 for Democrats, so voter fraud will be a big factor.
To put it simply, this race is way too close to call and we all need to work as hard as possible from now until Nov. 2 to make sure that sKerry is kept out of the White House. |

With the differences in the two candidates and they are still undecided, I think some will just stay at home and not vote at all. |

It is more important that we get out the vote of those who agree with us. Most of the ones who are undecided by now must not have paid attention anyway and probably a large part of them won't vote . Vote this time no matter what the networks say on electron night. In 2000 the networks said Gore won Florida while the polls were still open.Many Bush supporters just went home and didn't vote . This happened out west too. |

I always suggest that those that work a 9 to 5, 8 to 4 or whatever type day -- take the legally required 1-2-3 hours to vote and go into work late. Go to the polls at 7 am, with your coffee and newspaper or whatever ... I you are self-employed or set your own hours then just make sure you go vote before noon. That way you will not be standing in line at 7 or 8 pm.
Get up that hour earlier or whatever it takes --- but vote early --- then you won't be tempted to just go home.
I stood in line in 1980 until 10pm waiting to vote for Reagan. I did not know that Carter has conceeded before I ever got in line. It was worth it though --- the headlines of the Atlanta Journal/Constitution changed about 10 times that day --- Senator Herman Talmadge (D) was up for re-election --- the Atl. Jour went from calling the race for Herman to finally annoucing that his opponent Mack Mattingly won --- the difference my little precinct caused the ultimate change in results. ---
Regardless --- go vote --- YOUR NECK's relationship with your HEAD is at stake. |

If anyone is still undecided at this point, perhaps they are still looking for the October surprise.
I think that the constant negative campaigning by the liberals, in particular the Candidate himself, from now until November 2nd will surely not convert the undecided voters to their camp. _________________ FIRE MISSION: Kerry campaign in line of sight. |

I am glad that I am off on Super Tuesday. Going to do my stint at my kids school cooking their lunch, then going to do the vote thing, short nap to catch up from working all night, and then stay up till sKerry gives his concession speach. |

Probably will have to stay up for a couple weeks if not a month+ because Kerry will whine, complain, & take it to the courts before he gives a concession speech So easy to give up and leave his crew after 3 PH's, but this is much more important to him, he will stay and fight to the death. |
