I’m not sure if I’ve ever switched at the last minute, but deciding at the last minute means now-or-never decision time. Yesterday, I was talking to a friend who said he didn’t care for either candidate this year, and will decide at the polling booth.

That’s really interesting, Frank. Have you gone to the poll and switched last minute? I find this fascinating.

Ugh. “Romney deserves a chance” to ensure this country is screwed? No thanks.

With some exceptions, to be Undecided in modern America is to be:

1) somebody who pays virtually no attention to anything socially important except for 1 month every 4 years.

2) incapable of deciding what is good for them and/or society.

3) want to prove they are more responsible/better than the 50% who don’t even vote at all.

Most of these people are easily swayed imbeciles, the kind who run out to the big box stores every weekend to empty their bank accounts and fill their vehicle full of whatever shit they were marketed that week.

Winning their vote boils down to the best advertising campaigns and the ever dependable Alpha-male posturing. If it takes more than 10 minutes of sustained thinking, or self-sacrifice, you’ll probably lose them.

And these people are the very people that determine America’s direction.

I’m one who normally delays a decision as long as possible … sometimes even up until holding the ballot … or at least keeping my pre-vote preference close to the vest. Then again, I’m not an undecided and don’t know any. Then again, in my area, many vote for the party representative regardless of their record or position.

Nonetheless, great start with Lobotero’s paragraph.

What I find sad are some young people like a friend of mine who thinks both candidates suck but he’s going to vote for Romney because he thinks Obama hasn’t done enough and Romney deserves a chance. Jesus, I’d like to shake him and say, “This isn’t a game of horseshoes.” This naivete of some people, I think, is more harmful than people who don’t vote at all.
