We all keep hearing about this mythical "undecided center". A group of people who don't know who they are going to vote for, and thus, are going to be the deciding factor of the upcoming election.

The funny thing is, I don't know a single person who fits into this category. Where are they?

I am surprised that anyone would know exactly who to vote for this early in the election. I mean, there has not even been a debate yet.

Leaning to one side is good, and necessary. But “knowing” who to vote for will just make you turn a blind eye on both candidates.

If you will definitely vote for candidate A instead of B, Then A can say anything he wants to you and you will eat it with a spoon. B can actually say some relevant things, but you won’t listen, and neither will A because he knows you are only going to listen to him (due to already being decided who to vote for). Because of this you loose out, and democracy becomes weaker.

I am milking both guys to the bitter end to see what they will really do, and will choose when I am writing my answer on my absentee ballot. I suggest everyone does the same.

Well Bush has 4 years in the White House and Kerry has however many years in the Senate... so I think we can pretty well infer what they'll do in the next four years. Of course, I'll still listen carefully to the debates. But I also more or less have my mind made up, based on their record.

John Kerry: weakling.
Bush: Less of a weakling.
Easy to me.
