If you'd asked me a few weeks ago, I would have said that "undecided voters" were bullshit. But now I actually am one, Xie! I don't think I'll know who I'm going to caucus for until the day itself. This is thrilling (I'm torn between wanting both of them, rather than neither), but unsettling.
We have primaries, and I sent in my absentee ballot a few weeks ago. With a firm vote for Hillary. :)
Look at the possibilities this way: Who would you want to have a quickie relationship with? And who would you want a long-term relationship with?
According to my soc professor that can put the selection process into perspective for a person. Whomever you select for the long-term relationship would be who you should vote for since you look for different things for each.
At this point, I'd be happy just to have a democrat in the White House. I don't care if it's Clinton or Obama.
IMO, it's not going to matter too much until someone is selected to run on the democratic ticket from the election. I'd just stick with Clinton and tell yourself 'zOMG any democrat will do.' That way, if she wins the nomination, you're in a spot to help, and, if Obama does, you can start helping that campaign without feeling guilty.
Unless, of course, the 'undecided' means you don't know whether to vote democrat or republican. If that's the case then I might have to scowl at you a lot. :P

Hmm, that's a good point. The problem is that I'm undecided as in wanting both of them because they're awesome, not undecided as in apathetic, just give me a damn democrat (which would usually be me). It's kind of refreshing.
How about you? Are you caucusing/primary-voting, or just camping out until the generals?

0_o OMG, I assume my friends list are non-republicans the same way I assume that they breathe air and walk upright.

You know you want to. ;)

Are you caucusing? Or primary-voting, or whatever arcane ritual they have in your state?
(Here democrats have both, but the primary doesn't count. Hooray for our electoral system!)
