Is legitimate voting still relevant?

An interesting question. It bears on the accuracy of polling, in the following way: Pollsters, even Democrat pollsters, when gathering their numbers, tend to stick to people who can legally vote. Given the level of vote fraud we already know about, it seems to me reasonable to suggest that the final outcome of the voting may be altered by illegal votes.

James, I usually like your post and understand your emotion behind that statement. However, if you really think that you may fall under one of those categories. For many of us who keep up on politics, we made up our minds long ago. However there are those that see no reason to make a decision until it is necessary. One can never know what may happen or be revealed. Also some share certain policies philosophies with each candidate and need that tipping point. I don’t think I need to go on.

That said, it is clear choice for me but understand how it is not for others.

Ordinarily, I use the term “undecided voter” interchangably with “idiots” and “non-voters.”

With all due respect to Dave, this election should not change your use of the term "undecided voter."

The internal Republican polling numbers are suggesting 4 to 1 as of this morning.

That strikes me as wildly optimistic. Even if the PUMAs go half and half, it's not going to be 4 to 1. Further, if my instinct is right that the persuadables are only 6.5 percent, the additional 1.3 percent would push Obama over 51 percent nationally.

These people will, I believe, break disproportionately — perhaps 2-to-1 or even 3-to-1 — for John McCain.
