Would you wait 2 hours in line to vote for "Undecided"?

Georgia has (for good or bad) "early voting", and I did my part: standing in line for 2-1/2 hours this week to vote. Most of the line was outside the building in the wind, all of it was uncomfortable.

But .... How many "undecided" voters - people who even after 18 months of campaign propaganda from the MSM STILL haven't decided what course they want their country go on - would bother doing that?

Would a person (particularly the very old or very young) who can't make up their mind until November 2 really want to leave their house or job; stand in line for 1, 2, or 3 hours; and then vote? For a person and a platform who they "don't know enough about" to vote for?

The polls are slanted very heavily to the democrats - based in large part on the demands by the democrats and ACORN that "new registrations" mean many more democrats are going to be voting -> therefore, many more democrats "need" to be in the polling samples. Obviously, the second half of that equation is that the polls will then "need" to read more democrat voters than republican voters, and the results will be heavily skewed to a democratic (Obama) answer.

But these same polls show a consistent 10-11% of "undecided voters". Will these undecided" voters actually show up on November 4? Are the campaign "strategies" that target (ignorant and uninformed) "undecided" voters really going to make a difference?

I am continually amazed at how BAD the "Washington insiders" are at really thinking about life.

Do they (those at ABCNNBCBS) really have any clue about how the country works?

To them Flyover Country is terra incognita. I doubt the MSM knows what the average American is thinking.

I gotta admit, I kind of agree with this. I mean, come on--if you haven't made up your mind by now, are you really going to go to the polls? Are you THAT committed to exercising your right to vote if you're so freakin thick you haven't been able to detect that Obama is an inept nothing of a candidate?

We seem to be placing all our bets on "undecided," but I think it's a fool's gamble. Just as some polls have reportedly gotten record numbers of hang-ups, I think a lot of these "undecideds" just want to talk to a pollster.

If we're hoping the undecideds save us, this election's over already. It's going to be GOTV that saves us, or pulls Obama over the finish line first.

Oh, so that’s what’s going on in my country! Why didn’t they say so in the first place? Now I understand! Gee, why should I even vote in the first place with all those new RAT registrations (even dead gold fish). Guess I should just sit this one out since there is so much momentum for the ‘The One’.

Or maybe I’ll ignore the MSM (as usual) and do what the hell I want to.

How many undecideds did you see? How do you know?

Here in the country it takes 10 minutes to vote. Is the long wait problem with all of Georgia or just the city?

The so called undecideds go Mccain.

Above and beyond the undecideds, record numbers of people are refusing to respond to pollsters this year. I guarantee you those aren't Obama voters—The Lightworker's followers never pass up an opportunity to give witness.

I disagree... If I were ask by a pollster, my answer right up to election day would be :”undecided”. I’ll listen to whatever they have to say, and then I’ll vote for Palin and that guy who’s running with her (or mickey mouse).
