He said the undecided are undicided for a reason and that they are not likely to break toward Bush after seeing Bush for the last 4 years. If they were happy with Bush they wouldn't be undecided by this point in the game. So if Bush is still tied in the Polls by election day it could be bad news for him when the remaining undecided break...
Ho hum. Will's opinion is noted and dismissed.
-we are all out using our cell phones, to heck with polls on our home phones.....it's a whole new world folks.
George Will wets his pants...I guess that means the election is 2 weeks away.
I keep saying this is horse crap. Clearly in 2000 the undecided voters broke for Gore.
Here is my take on this. Since 1980, the break has gone to the Republicans (except 84 when there was no break), I believe this is because the Main stream media has made weak kneed voters uncomfortable about publicly supporting the GOP, however when they go to the booth, they will vote with their conscience.
Will is no longer a "respected" columnist amongst Conservatives "outside the beltway". He also said undecideds break for the challenger. He is wrong when it comes to Presidential races. He has never been positive about Bush in this election, and he knows very little outside of baseball.

USN Dad Freeper to George Will: He's not TIED, he's AHEAD, so shutteth uppeth.
What people are forgetting in the equation is that the challenger is sKERRY!
Since he's not tied, I suggest Will go back to kissing snuffelupagus' butt
I agree! How can these people be undecided still! If these people are still undecided then they are blind,deaf and dumb! The choice could not be more clear.
I agree. I think they are waiting for Kerry to do something he can't give them.
Your chart omits a lot of relevant data, such as the fact that in years when the vote broke for the challenger, it was a blowout year. Stevenson, McGovern, Ford and Dole were wiped out. The polls were just regressing towards the mean.
This year is likely to be an under two percent year. It's also likely to be a high turnout year. I think the polls are meaningless at this point. It will be won by the party that gets its vote out.
IF THE ELECTION WAS HELD IN FRANCE KERRY MIGHT WIN GEORGE

Since 1936, whoever had the lead 1 month out won it, with the exception of Reagan beating Carter and Truman beating Dewey. Kerry is neither Reagan or Truman. Kerry is toast.
I loved that MOVIE! That is a line we use a hundred times over in my family....
George Will, ABC's idea of a conservative.
ROFLMAO! Call StarKist!
Oh, that Barney Rubble. What an actor.
After all the crap the Kerry campaign has thrown at Bush and he still manages to hold onto a lead, I'd say that it's not going to be nearly as close as all those "pundits" are saying!
