Want to Know the Mind of an Undecided Voter?

If you are like most of us who actually pay attention to politics, you are increasingly wonder how someone could be an undecided voter in this election. The candidates have not been more different in the 20+ years I have been voting, and their styles are night and day (or would that just be Texas and New England?). Well, this article gives some insight (even though the title foolishly claims they go for Kerry, when it is split pretty much 33/33/33 between Bush, Kery, and the shark from Jaws).

The most revealing bit of text? "Hazel Hunter, 64, Milford, Realtor, registered Democrat: If election held today, would vote for: Unsure. 'I really didn't even feel like voting for anyone.'" In other words, the reason they're undecided is because they (1) don't care and (2) feel insufficiently entertained by the process.
