Freeper afraid of undecideds!
The best I've found the Freepers can do so far is find a case where a couple of undecideds watched the debate... and are still undecided.



"Undecided Couple Eyes Debate (LAST TWO UNDECIDED VOTERS IN THE COUNTRY)

Going into tonight's presidential debate, neither Rick Pintor nor his wife Nellie Pintor had his or her mind made up.

As their grandchildren watched cartoons in another room, Rick and Nellie settled onto their living room couch to watch the debates.

Rick has leaned back and forth between Senator Kerry and President Bush.

"Bush I thought may have been the one. Then, I saw the Democratic convention and almost was convinced for Kerry, he said. "Now, I'm going to watch the debate and determine which route I'm going to go. I'm still not sure."

Pundits said Thursday's debate was expected to be the most watched, most important night of the 2004 presidential election.

Going in, Rick said the war in Iraq was a key issue in deciding his vote.

"Is Kerry going to be able to handle it? Is Bush going to finish what he got us involved in?" he said.

Nellie Pintor wanted to be reassured the terrorism threats will be met.

"Because I feel unsafe sometimes when they come and say all that stuff about the warnings on TV," she said.

They watched intently as Bush and Kerry squared off.

As the candidates took turns speaking, husband and wife watched the TV and each other.

They laughed briefly when Bush's daughters were mentioned as needing to be on a leash.

They looked closely to each man for clues as to who might do the best job keeping their family safe.

And in the end, they came different conclusions about who won.

"To me, Kerry," said Nellie. "H e seemed more sincere to me, what I heard, Kerry was m ore positive. He was more sure of what he was saying than Bush was."

But Rick felt Sen. Kerry was too smooth in his closing remarks, and not clear enough during the debate.

"I think Bush won the debate, but I'm not fully convinced who I'm going to vote for yet. There are still other debates, but in this debate, Bush is still on the path to winning this war."

Both husband and wife agreed they'd look to future debates to see what the candidates said about issues other than the war and foreign policy.

On October 5th, the vice presidential candidates will debate in Cleveland. October 8th at Washington University in St. Louis the Presidents will take part in a town hall discussion, and then at Arizona State in Tempe on October 13th, the two will square off on domestic issues."

The Freepers want the 'undecideds' to stay home cause they think they'll Vote for Kerry. Good news all around!
