well I am not registered and probably wont be but I think President Clinton's speech along with Mrs. Obama's might sway enough to get Obama back to finish cleaning up the mess he inherited

And these fence sitters can do wonders with the votes tally Taps!

Of course I never follow your politics Taps , but there are a lot of people who do not like change in any form. The voting pattern here is pretty pathetic more or less clinging to the same  form the undecided as you say decide the future.

True and well said, TAPS!

 My own mother is waffling back and forth and at times decides she will just stay home on E Day and paint her living room or wallpaper the kitchen, lol. I seem to have an inner resistance to going to the polls too this year, which is rather strange for me..:)

Re: Pat_B

You are probably right about many not voting at all.  I know some who do not plan to.

Re: Justi

I never did like that electoral college thing.  But, we seem to be stuck with it.

Re: sam444

I think you are right on the first part.
I hope everything works out well for you on the second part.

Some times perhaps people will pretend they don't know yet, saves getting

into an ugly argument perhaps.

There is a wisdom, though, to holding off a decision

until the last minute, until one has gathered in the most information one can. I know who I will most likely vote for... but I am not fully committed until I tuck that paper in the envelope and drop it in the slot.

I agree, there are fence sitters who who are genuinely torn by conflicting convictions, but then there are many more who sit there because they don't know where else to sit in the first place, people who don't know nothin' from nothin', to put it mildly...

I for one just can't wait until the smoke clears, and everyone start to lament that they think they may have voted for the wrong man! Gas chamber or firing squad . . . take your pick!

I think it is going to be a very interesting election this time around and for me the stakes are very high! sam

There is a possibility the electoral college vote could out weigh the votes too, isn't there. There is one time you better have your mind made up there may not be time in the end for a decision. You know the Lord or you're not going to heaven.

What's worse, so many will not vote at all.

Which means -- of the 40% of citizens who vote, as few as 21% will decide the election. Mama used to say if you didn't vote, don't gripe because your issue or candidate lost.
