Despite Speech, Undecideds Remain Undecided

I wonder how they reacted to Zell Miller's fire and brimestone speech though?

CLAYTON, Mo., Sept. 3 -- Half a dozen undecided voters who gathered here to watch President Bush's acceptance speech made it clear before he took the podium that they had serious doubts about his leadership and his political choices. After listening to 62 minutes of carefully crafted oratory, Christopher A. Jackson found himself leaning ever so slightly the president's way.

But, then, after listing all that bothered him about the speech, Jackson announced that he still wasn't sure.

"I honestly don't trust the guy," said Jackson, 41, a businessman and registered independent.

In Goffstown, N.H., Kate Tullgren, 18, said she was undecided and might vote for Bush. Yet she greeted the speech with whispered sarcasm and scowls of incredulity. When Bush mentioned judicial appointments, she said, "What about Roe v. Wade, buddy?"

The reactions of undecided voters in three battleground states who agreed to watch Bush's convention speech with Washington Post reporters suggest that Bush still has work to do to win their allegiance. Some expressed skepticism about portions of the speech, and others found themselves nodding in agreement with some of the president's comments. But none said that the president had overcome their doubts in his nationally televised address.

Well that settles it, cancel the election - seven undecideds haven't made up their mind, Bush is doomed!

Hey Yoni, have you seen this?

An American Research Group poll released Thursday shows the U.S. presidential race remains tied.

The ARG ballot preference test between John F. Kerry and George W. Bush among registered voters found that 48 percent said they would vote for Kerry and 46 percent said they would vote for Bush, within the plus or minus 3 percent margin of error.

Of course, one poll says they're tied, so this definitely trumps the other polls that show Bush with a lead [/liberal logic]
