| DAYTON, OHIO — Meet the woman who might decide whether Barack Obama or Mitt Romney will be the next President of the United States. Sue Smith is 49 years old, a mother of three and a resident of Ohio, the most contested swing state on the electoral map. But she is more than just a voter in the biggest battleground state of all. She is undecided about whom to support. “There are days when I lean one way and then the other,” Smith says. And although most of her friends and relatives have made up their minds,

I would like to jump in and say that the undecided morons are ruining our country, but in reality it is the hard core leftist morons who are ruining our country. On purpose.

IMHO, the so called undecided are only looking for attention. How else would they get their picture in the paper or be interviewed on TV. This may be harsh, but if you cannot not choose after everything, we have learned about the Empty Chair, then you have no business voting.

The people on Fox with Frank Luntz were mostly phonies, looking for attention. As duly noted in other posts, if you can't figure this out by now you are a moron. I am concerned about Tuesday nights debate though because with Gallup doing the picking, Axelrod probably has final approval on who is in the hall. One would also think that Candy Crowley will give Obama the questions in advance - to level the playing field.

I have to wonder if this kind of undecided vpter will skip the election completely.
By the way, I am having a dickens of a time staying on lucianne.com this morning. Either my computer is messed up, or the site is under attack. Am I alone with this problem?

I wish the media would stop giving these so called "undecideds" so much attention. Posters above are correct, they are either lying or they are morons and should not vote at all. Frank Luntz had a supposed "undecided" panel from Ohio on the other night after the VP debate. Most participants had previously voted for Zero and most, by their comments, you could tell were still going to vote for Obama. They were not undecideds, they just like the attention from the media.

I think many people are telling others that they are "undecided" so as to avoid having to discuss with some liberal nut job why they are not going to vote for Obama.
Romney in a landslide!

I live north of Cincinnati - there are virtually no obumbler yard signs or bumper stickers anywhere to be found as I drive around. I think Ohio is going to go overwhelmingly to Romney.
Obumbler loses in a landslide.

I live about 30 miles from Sue. She'll wake up on election day and decide if she has time to go stand in line. Those of you who are sick of these undecided people (can't call them voters) are correct in your assumption. They love the attention. I was ashamed of that Frank Luntz crowd from Ohio on Thursday. A few were articulate but the rest were complete dunces.

I know people like this. They so live in their own heads and their own world they just don't want to deal with politics. I did not register to vote until I was 30. So I get wanting to avoid the reality of politics, but at some point you have to grow up and pay attention.

It seems to me that these people lack priciples. How can you think that Obama is ok one day (ever) and Romney is the next? I think they are uneducated and unpricipled. Is she waiting for her Obamaphone to help sway her?

Sue Smith isn't deciding anything, and her vote counts no more than anyone else's.
This is nothing more than media whores "hooking up" with attention whores.
Elections are numbers games and all the numbers are equal.

FTA - history tells us voters who are undecided at the very end in general tend to be more likely to vote for someone other than the incumbent.
Dick Morris says it more succinctly. Undecided voters break overwhelmingly for the challenger.

The Luntz focus group for dummies was appalling.
I think they're unhappy democrats who can't quite get up the nerve to vote republican. Republicans don't have the problem of not being able to make decisions.

Other posters are correct. If you can`t distinguish between the two candidates then you probably should stay home and not vote.
I knew who I`d be voting for in 2012 on November 5th, 2008, and it isn`t Obama.

CHICAGO — The Angus burger is going away, and it may not be the only McDonald´s dish on the chopping block. The world´s largest restaurant chain has also considered axing Caesar salads, the McSkillet Burrito, the Southern Style Biscuit and steak bagels, according to a franchisee email obtained by Bloomberg News. While the Angus burger contains as many as 820 calories and costs $4, the culling isn´t simply about offering healthier fare and cheaper items. It´s an effort by McDonald´s Corp. to streamline a menu that has expanded by 70 percent to about 145 items since 2007 — straining

You may have heard that there are a variety of scandals unfolding in Washington D.C. at the moment. Scandals swirling around the White House this week include revelations that the Internal Revenue Service singled out conservative groups for intimidation, that the Department of Justice may have expressed their frustration with the Associated Press by obtaining an absurdly wide swath of phone records, and the ever-unfolding scandal surrounding Benghazi and the administration’s response to that attack. With all these overwhelming controversies enveloping the executive branch, one question dominates in the media: When will Republicans overstep in their effort to criticize

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, former Obama chief of staff-turned-Treasury Secretary Jack Lew offered two conflicting yet carefully worded answers as to when he first learned that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had targeted Tea Party and conservative groups: he learned last week--and possibly before the 2012 election. Bloomberg´s Al Hunt asked Lew, whose Treasury Department oversees the IRS: “When were you first notified that IRS agents were targeting conservative groups like the Tea Party?” Instead of answering Hunt’s question directly, however, Lew instead chose to answer when he first learned about the IG report, a tactic

You can feel their pain as disillusioned devotees begin peeling Obama stickers from their bumpers, no longer anxious to share an identity with him as he slips further and further into a festering pool of scandal. For years these True Believers rationalized every faux pas and reckless word emanating from the White House, because to them none of it mattered in the greater light of his glorious incumbency. If he joked with Jay Leno about his inept bowling, saying “it was like the Special Olympics,” so what? If he dismissed his critics as “people who cling to their guns

A healthcare provider has sued the Internal Revenue Service and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans. The name of the provider is not yet known, United Press International said. But Courthouse News Service said the suit claims the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges. The search warrant did not specify that the IRS could take medical information, UPI said.

The First Lady debuted her new longer ´do on Friday during her commencement address at Bowie State University. Her bangs, which she cut for her 49th birthday in January because of a ´midlife crisis,´ were grown out and parted to the side with her wavy hair slightly longer, touching her shoulders. ´This is my midlife crisis, the bangs.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,

The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.

Appearing on Laura Ingraham‘s radio show this afternoon, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume suggested some Republicans were “stupid” to consider impeachment of President Obama a viable response to the ongoing scandals regarding the Benghazi attacks, the IRS targeting of conservative groups, and the Justice Department secret seizure of AP phone records. Likely referring to some GOP lawmakers, including Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) who has put impeachment on the table as an option for handling the Benghazi fallout, Ingraham asked Hume to comment on how some Republican leaders have “ran to the microphone” to suggest removal
