1. The 17% undecided vote, were not really undecided, and no one paid attention

Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 10:52 PM by still_one

that the so-called undecided vote was as much as 17%

Incidently, that Obama came this close is actually remarkable for him, since a month ago he wasn't even in the range

She Cried

Sorry - but what else has happened in the last 24 hours to shift so many votes. A lot of women felt guilty and sorry for her - there is nothing else that can explain this shift!

3. I don't believe it had anything to do with that. The undecideds lied. They were not undecided

they knew exactly who they were going to vote for

6. Could it just be that the polls were wrong?

There were dozens of polls in 2006 marginalizing the Democrats in the mid-term elections yet the Democrats CRUSHED the Republicans.

Polling isn't an exact science, and with some polls having as much as a 10pt margin of error (read: ERROR) it shouldn't be that much of a surprise why she would have one.

5. my guess is because they didn't want to tell the polls where they stood on the issues

It is hard for me to believe that one day before an election 17% are really undecided

I NEVER respond to polls myself, but I know exactly where I stand
