I've coined a term for these voters:
The "waving wheat". (A FR/Fishrrman original)
They are the wishy-washy independents and undecideds, unable to make up their own minds, who bend and wave en masse in the direction of the prevailing political winds.
Which direction they lean towards depends on who's making the most "political wind". Obviously the mainstream media has long been the "windmaker", but the internet may be changing that.
I sense that currently, those political winds seem to be blowing in the democrats' direction, but I hope I'm proven wrong or that they shift a little back towards our side. We shall see.

And in the end, wheat is reaped or it rots. Great word picture!
I like it.
How about weeble-wheat?
Weebles wobble but they won’t take a stand.
