DISQUS

While I've commented elsewhere that David Sedaris (whom I generally love) misses the point with his warmed-over joke about Undecided Voters, my absolutely last word on the subject can be found in the latest piece: "Opens and Closes," at my www.undecidedman.com blog.

While I’m a big fan of David Sedaris, he (like most voters whose voting pattern was pre-determined years or decades before the current candidates were nominated) confuses thinking about the important issue of who to vote for (which many undecideds are doing) with not thinking about it (which, by definition, most decideds have stopped doing). My reply to Mr. Sedaris can be found at http://www.undecidedman.com under “Naivite”.

I can only speak for one undecided voter (myself) and need to admit that my status as an undecided is somewhat artificial (for reasons explained on my www.undecidedman.com blog). That said, there is a possibility that those who did not make up their mind two years ago,or one year ago, or even one month ago are still thinking things over. Given how many things have happened in just the last 30-40 days, I don't think that's quite as nuts (or nazy, or stupid, or irrational) as many seem to think.
