O.K. - so this is going to be a theologically light* post, but I just can't help putting in my two cents. If the networks are to be believed, the fate of the entire free world is in the hands of a few, luke-warm, undecided voters in a few swing states. That just boggles my mind.
Here's a couple of questions for those who are still on the fence:
1. What more do you need to know before you make up your wishy-washy little mind about this election? Honestly. It's not rocket science. One is a Chicago liberal - across the board - and the other is a fiscally conservative (and boring) moderate who just happened to be the last one standing in an extremely boring Republican primary. There are a few nuances with regards to specifics - but that's that basics folx.
2. Have you paying attention? There are two candidates - Pick one!
3. Are you enjoying the attention? Lots of folks are pandering to you right now, trying to figure out exactly what it will take to tip you over to their side. (Must be nice...) Do you believe all the campaign promises? How 'bout a chicken in every pot!?!
Now for weighing-in on the situation. All joking aside, I don't necessarily buy into the notion that there are that many undecided or still persuadable voters out there. The problem as I see it, is the candidates being overly concerned with trying to woo them by saying what the undecided voters might want to hear. If they still don't know by now - they should stay home and do no harm! That's just my opinion. On the other hand - everyone who is a legal, living, breathing citizen of legal age has the right to cast their vote - ONCE - and be counted - ONCE - so long as they register in their local precint. That being said, I just can't believe there are people who haven't yet made their mind up about this one. Decide already!
Bottom line...it just makes me nervous...
