How can people still be undecided? The two candidates are SO different.

Thoughts?

I think they will both bring much pain and suffering, but I lean towards McCain and the rest of my family is strongly for Obama. I will be canceled out. We throw food at dinner. I can't wait for this election to be done with.

I still have 2 sisters who are undecided. I can't really understand it but we have decided as a family politics are off the table. It gets pretty ugly.

We don't throw food but only because we live in separate states. They both voted for Bush twice. At least this time they are thinking more about it.

I am still undecided. There are more than 2 people running and I will chose between one of the two mentioned above and one that wasn't included above.

Neither one covers everything

So here's my stand

I can't afford healthcare. Obama
I carry a handgun. McCain
I'm tired of the same people in our gov't. Obama
I work in the firearms trade. McCain
I'm pro-coice on the "a" word. Obama
I'm a USAF veteran. McCain
I hate NAFTA. Obama
I believe Iran and N Korea do not deserve direct talks. McCain
I pay too much for gas with oil company record profits. Obama
The USSR "could" rise again, a ColdWar II, Putin wants it. Would require McCain
No child left behind isn't working. Obama

Give me my social security money back. ?????
I spend too much on food. ?????

Though that skin cancer ad was disgusting and shameful. My Uncle had skin cancer.

I'm voting McCain mainly because of Obamas anti stance on guns. That would have an impact on my job and personal security.

How about a round table, with a head of every part elected. The Greens, Libertarians, Dems, Repubs, etc.

Bring back the progressive party

Hardly different at all actually. Two terrible choices that I don't expect to make much of a difference at all.

I think the undecided are maybe hoping that something happens in the next 4 wks to convince them one way or the other.

I totally understand undecided voters like Dave in NC. I've never had a harder time in my life. I've ruled out Obama, but now the choice is between McCain or a write in. I'm not happy with the Republicans, I also trust him more than Obama to handle tough decisions (aka Russia).

There's nothing wrong with being undecided. It's called discernment.

They will both give you your socialized healthcare.
Neither one is going to outlaw abortion.
Neither one will renegotiate NAFTA
The gubmint makes more per gallon than the oil companies.
Spending more money on education will not make kids smart.
Your SS money is long gone neither will help you there. But Barry will probably give you the 15% "one time" tax on 401Ks the dems have been talking about to "save" SS.



I was undecided between 3rd party and McCain, leaning very heavy toward 3rd party. The way the MSM has been acting has been bringing me to McCain and now with the Gwen Ifill BS, it's pretty much sealed the deal.

Won't do much good though I believe Barry has it. I guess every generation deserves their own Carter misery index.
