Persuadable voters give Kerry high marks (read on...)

A persuadable voter is nothing more than an unlikely voter. Someone who isn't strongly attracted to either candidate.

We had our fill of them here in 2000. Libertarians, Constitution Party, Reform Party, etc. The dems have the greens, and now the Reforms.

I suspect that everyone has, for a long time, known who they would NOT vote for. The question is whether they will vote at all.

She voted for Clinton in 1992 because Bush 41 "looked at his watch" during one of the debates.

What a twit.

I can't help thinking that the "undecided" and "persuadable" voters just aren't too bright. I mean, Bush and Kerry are completely different, including on critical issues, life or death issues: abortion, war (of course, that difference is that Pres. Bush has a position), health care, Social Security reform, foreign policy, budget and spending, etc., etc. How can you be undecided? The only way I can see it is if you care passionately about the issues and agree with Bush on half of them and Kerry on the other half. But the stories I see always cite these voters as saying things like whether someone "looks Presidential" or stands up straight, or seems warm, or some nonsense. I swear, I think the last debate should have been staged with a puppet show to keep the attention of some of these people. How can you still be undecided???? If they can't decide by now, I figure they won't vote, because probably they won't be able to decide what to wear, what time to go to the polls, whether to stop at the grocery store before or after voting.....
