(I've noticed that a LOT of anti-Obamaites -- ones who can't seemingly find a good thing to say 'bout Romney other than he's NOT Obama -- don't seem to be very "winsome" toward the 9% of us who are either undecided or will vote third party...With this kind of "treatment" by the Romney crowd, they'll scare all the lurkers away who are still deeply pondering their choices)
In the sphere of FR that’s likely 50% not 9%. But a 9% undecided rate in the general body of voters is not that unusual in a contest like this where the heaviest cannon have yet to shoot. And it’s also not unusual for it to split heavily in favor of the challenger as the decision comes down to the wire. Like impending death, the election has a way of focusing the mind.
