Why there are fewer undecided voters this year...

Back even before President Obama took the oath, the GOP made it their sole purpose for the next four years was to deny President Obama a second term.

And it seemed to be working as the GOP swept the dems out of the House leadership offices in 2010.

So we have been in an almost perpetual campaign mode with a very loud partisan oppositions quibbling about every step President Obama made toward governing.

So this campaign had been going on for years.

Now throw in the reality that the cable news networks took the easy way out and just hung around the Capital. Now all that time spent on Capital Hills was surely not spent on committing journalism. They talked about the personalities, the process, the endless polling basically anything but what the battle was really about.

So a perpetual campaign mode, a press corp that is basically lazy and crazy people trying to get their mugs on the cable news as much as possible and you have people forming opinions way before the elections.

It's almost as if all the frenzy that was ramped up from 2009 on out solidified the opinions of the voters.

And after 2010 when the GOP behaved like frat house brutes, what does the press expect.

In the good old days when the campaign really started after Labor Day, there was a lot of excitement and anything could happen. But now that we are in almost a 365/24/7 political cloud, the election itself seems to be an afterthought.

I can tell you with close to 100% surety that people on camera on election night will start talking about 2016.

Well, that's my take on the situation as I see it.

btw, just got a call from the Senate democrats and shot them an extra $50 bucks...
