"The mistake this guy makes is viewing the debate from a pointy-headed intellectual point of view, which he is."
I agree. Mr. Nordlinger appears to be thinking along the lines that 100 percent of people are undecided about who they are going to vote for, instead of the 20 percent or so, if we can believe the numbers, who are.
You forgot one thing. After watching these two guys drone on and on for hours about their political views, some of the 20% (I believe the true number is far less) may just effin' STAY HOME.
No one ever considers that possibility!
