My gut thinking on the undecided vote right now, is not that these "voters" are trying to decide which candidate to vote for, but if they want to vote at all. The more Bush and Gore vie for these undecided's, the more they start looking and sounding alike, just confirming the opinion that there is nobody worth voting for.

I wonder, too, how many Nader supporters would actually like him as a president.

Maybe if people thought about what they might lose, instead of who might win, the issues will come back into consideration.

In a state like Texas, where I am, what is really scary is not that Bush will win, I'm sure he will, but that his supporters will vote the straight ticket. They will do this without even knowing who else they are voting for. Straight ticket voting ought to be done away with. As should the electoral college.

Thank goodness we're in the home stretch of this.
