Here's How The Undecided Voters
Were Selected To Ask Obama And
Romney Questions At Tomorrow's Debate

Business Insider, by Brett LoGIurato

Original Article

Posted By:Photoonist, 10/15/2012 5:13:24 PM

President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney will answer to a pool of about 100 undecided voters in Wednesday's town-hall style presidential debate in Hempstead, N.Y. The voters were selected by the Gallup Organization, which has been tracking the Obama-Romney matchup on a daily basis throughout the general election. This is the 20th anniversary of Gallup's partnering with the Commission on Presidential Debates for a town-hall style debate. In 1992, Gallup editor in chief Frank Newport said, no one had any idea what questions would be asked, and moderator Carole Simpson moved through the crowd of voters at random.

Comments:
Gallup picked them. Nobody knows what questions will be asked? Honk if you don't trust this process of selecting ''undecided voters.'' Especially as Gallup continues to overpoll Democrats in order to keep 0bama close or slightly ahead.

WANTED: "Undecided voter." Apply at local SEIU office. Pay starts at 11.00 an hour with bonuses for selection by Gallup for town hall debate. Undecided questions will be provided by ACORN.

Leave your "Obama foam" and "foo stamps" at home.

The article states that Candy Crowley will decide which questions are asked. Why on Earth would any Republican agree to this format?

OP, no one knew which questions would be asked in 1992. Article goes on to say that this time moderator Crowley has discussed the questions with the chosen questioners. She knows the questions that will be asked and who will be asking them.

It is my fervent hope that at least one of these "undecided voters" turns out to be a ringer - a Dem operative - and is found out and exposed after this stupid townhall "debate".

~~Wednesday's debate serves as a huge challenge for Obama to reverse a slide from the last presidential debate, when an overwhelming majority of voters and pundits gave a clear victory to Romney. Gallup found that Romney was the biggest debate-winner in history.~~

......will Candy Crowley attempt to reverse that last decision. Only time will tell.

Dear Lord, please let me live long enough for the RNC to grow a pair and stop bending over and taking it from the MSM when it comes to these debates.

In NYC they found UNdecided voters..sure, uh huh.
The RNC is comprised of self defeating fools to agree to a bunch of extreme liberals controlling debates. Just as the VP debate was a two against one debate.

Ryan had to debate two people. Romney will have to debate 102.

I hate these townhall "debates" or questions from the audience during a regular debate. They never are tough enough or detailed enough. When they are answered it is usually a non-answer consisting of the usual campaign rhetoric and the questioner either doesn't get a followup or is too intimidated to just say "now please answer what I asked".

I want tough questions of both candidates and the moderator to not give an inch and keep asking for a real answer until it is given.

Anyone who is "truly undecided" at this late date is a brain-dead idiot.

Which must mean they're democrats.

It's OK, no matter what they do. Just remember how well-prepared Romney was for the 1st debate and how we were all ^5ing afterwards, many of us in disbelief. You KNOW he'll be ready for tomorrow night. Whatever they try to do; he'll be ready.

Candy and Obama know what questions will be asked. Romney will have to wing-it.

I had co-worker who was in the townhall debate here in Richmond, VA in 1992. He said they went past 3 people who wanted to ask questions about Bill Clinton's character to get to the man with the pony tail who asked what were they going to do to help the poor. Don't believe that they didn't know who was going to ask what.

If Mitt plays it right, he will triangulate between the two attention seeking drama queens on stage and come out ahead just on that alone.

So all of the townhall participants will be from Nassau County. This is a county with 7.4% unemployment, and a median income of $91,414 vs. the national median of $51,914. In 2008, Nassau County went for Obama 53.8%. So we can expect questions very unbiased and very representative of the whole country? s/o

Crowley and Obama are forgetting some things.

Romney is a reality-based individual.
He can stand on his own two feet unlike CNN and the POTUS.

Romney has been attacked by Dems, Repubs, and the Media for over 6 months.

Romney was GOV of Massachusetts and had to work with a highly partisan Democratic Legislature.

Romney has a good message and a professional demeanor.

Romney will thrive in a 2 against 1 forum.

Romney will be the underdog.

Romney will stay focused on the issues that matter most to Independents and Women.

Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!

Romney/Ryan!

Undecided people make me sick. What have they been doing, reading, watching for the past three and a half years? What were they doing in the run up to 2008 election? These are the kinds of people who destroy good nations. Weaklings, simpletons, blind-minds.

Setup in the Empire State. Hosted by the Ted Turner news Network and some half-bright diehard Marxist. Gallup picks the "undecideds". Stupid party strikes again. Why not hold the debate at golden gate university, let Chris Mathews and F Chuck Toad pick the "undecided" questioners, let Ray Madcow "moderate". Idiots!

Undecided voters to decide the election? This is like a jury trial: the defendant's fate is decided by 12 people who couldn't come up with a good enough excuse to get out of jury duty.

A pool of 100 undecided voters? In NY? Give me a break. NY is the bastion home of the DNC, freeloaders, high taxes, high unemployment, thousands of mandates sucking what's left of the taxpaying public dry, greedy state public employee unions sucking the rest of the tax money dry, and dead last (#50) for a business friendly environment.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
