"Undecided" Is a Decision

As Daniel Foster points out at the Corner, Nevada undecideds are trending against Reid and in Angle's favor. With elections just a month away, if you're still undecided, you've made a decision already. You've decided you don't like what your incumbent has to show for his or her time in office. You're still unsure whether the challenger's offering something more attractive than what the incumbent is selling now. But especially in an election like this year's, the sitting party has in an important way already lost the undecideds. Democrats might regain them -- or some of them -- over the next thirty days. More likely, I'd wager, we'll continue to see trends like Nevada's popping up elsewhere.

Maybe some would like to see if Reid can actually bankrupt America and get unemployment up above 40% before they decide. Wait, and see if he can break the record. You don't want to interfere with a master craftsman when he's on a roll.

I would like to see
"Undecided (U)"
on the ballot in order to keep these people from "deciding" the fate of Our Nation.

Re: "Undecided" Is a Decision
An excellent point on those who are undecided on a well-known entity like Reid. They've decided that they don't like him. It's Angle on whom they are undecided.
I also wonder if there is a bit of the "peer pressure" effect in play. There are people in the national media saying nasty things about Tea Party people, and such language gets repeated around the water cooler, especially in the "blue" states. In such an environment who can blame people for being coy about their voting intentions? I don't like talking to pollsters either.
They'll declare themselves in the voting booth when it counts.
