Now the debates are over I will not miss interviews with "undecided voters".

I am convinced most are masters at equivocation and want attention. They are the people who stand in line at the Deli take 5 minutes to decide what to order, then order the same thing they ordered last week. They knew all along what they wanted. There may be a few of the gullible left but for the most part they are already members of the Romney base. As for the Obama leaning so called "undecideds" they have known all along what they are going to do just order your sandwich you have had your 15 minutes.

of course they're probably both, but the only way you could possibly be undecided is to be totally oblivious to what's going on in the world.

I have heard all of the reasons which to me are OK everyone is entitled to their opinion or in some cases delusion. After all the money and resources thrown this late date; at the rude, dense to get them to make up their minds infuriates me. I refuse to donate after September.

From Yahoo...

While differences in foreign policy were hard to come by, perhaps one of the most interesting interactions of the night came when the two candidates began to discuss their differences in education. Romney voiced his concerns over teachers unions, while President Obama discussed the need for more teachers in math and science as well as the need to lower the number of students in each class.

Viewing the debate as a moderate, undecided voter, I would say the debate was a draw; each side can claim victory. Clearly, a tight election is on the horizon.

While I liked Obama's points about teachers and Romney's points about increasing trade with South America and achieving North American energy independence by using all of our resources, I found myself displeased with both candidates by the end of this debate. Neither really discussed several important foreign policy issues, such as the EU economic crisis and how it impacts our economy, and what to do about our next-door neighbor Mexico and the 50,000-plus deaths from the border drug wars.

In two weeks I have to make a choice; this last debate didn't make it any easier.
-- Lyn Brooks, Roanoke, Va.
