Does anybody else find voters who are undecided on the day of a primary infathomable? |
|
There is so much information available on teh internets and even in the MSM that I can't understand someone walking into a voting booth without knowing which lever they are going to pull.
Feel free to discuss.

1. I'd be more wondering why they're voting if they're undecided... |
|
I mean, I want more people to vote and all... but not if they're just gonna pull the lever for the canidate whose ad they saw most recently on TV.

2. No. Just because there's a lot of information out there... |
|
(and don't kid yourself about how many people actually look up candidate stuff online) doesn't mean the decision process isn't a lot more complicated than plugging numbers into an equation.
People make last minute decisions about all sorts of things in their lives, and voting is pretty much the same. Candidates A and B each have good points and bad, and it takes a whuile to work it all out. Not much different than buying a car when you've got several good choices and finally just put money down on one to get it over with.
And, there's people like me who answer "undecided" just because you pissed me off by asking.
