Who’s making the decision?
I’m still stuck on this idea that the American public is so evenly divided. There’s a big chunk of us who have made up our minds, and polls seem to indicate that of this “decided” group we’re pretty darn evenly split (well, except according to the folks at Gallup) – maybe there’s a slight lead for Bush. Diving down in the swing states, there are other splits, all looking about the same.
It makes sense then that the campaigns would focus on the undecided voters, since that group could easily represent the winning margin for either candidate.
So the way I read this, a group of people who are either too busy or uninterested to pay attention to what’s going on in our country until the last minute are going to decide who’ll lead us for the next four year.
There really has to be a better way.
