Most undecideds were opposed to the Iraq war, but did not like Kerry at all. Kerry appeared polished and serious in the debates and it won over a lot of those undecideds.
I expect to see the gender gap explode again with women moving strongly for Kerry. If we win this one, it will be by the skin of our teeth.
Nice you have opinions. Too bad the average voter doesn't seem to agree with you.

I suspect you will see just the opposet. I suspect Kerry will lost a point or 2 of the women vote. His "It's all about me" cocky speaking style is NOT going to be very appealing to women.
My wife who has been a Republican all her life and voted for W in 2000 and twice for governor told me yeserday that she is pulling for Kerry because she thinks he will pull the troops out of Iraq. Our son is to be deployed to Iraq in March.
Will be a challenge to get her to change her mind. Probably some others like her also. Any ideas?
