Those are people with an education they know who they support, give me a break.

The only ones who came off as sincere were the Latinas who will vote for Obama!

(PS THANKS to all the Latinos who don't buy the Romney bullshit THANKS THANKS THANKS)

seekers who are enjoying their fifteen minutes. And the stupid networks are playing the game because they think this is decent TV.

I say take anyone who can't make up their mind, strap them to a chair, and dump waste water on them--now that's must-see tv!!
