No, we know how the libs will vote, but there are a lot of smart people in the middle. They will be the ones that decide this election.

I just wonder how large that undecided group is.

Apparently just me. The weight of this election rests solely on my shoulders.
 
Re: Can anyones mind be changed?

My mind has been made up for 4 years. I won't be voting for Barack Obama.
 
Re: Can anyones mind be changed?

Yes, people's minds can be changed. However, most likely, the mind's that will be open to change are typically thos within the "fat middle". These are the individuals who are honestly either not particular to either party OR are just relatively light supporters or one or the other. These people tend NOT to be individuals heavily engaged in politics or the type of join a political forum. These are your average individuals whoh at best pay attention to politics a bit during the election season and at worst will possibly talk about politics amongst some friends but even that is generally at a very base or individualized level.

Politically minded people tend to be firmly rooted in their ideas and ideology, shifting a bit here or there but generally knowing full well where they stand, how they feel, and what they think. They make up the minority. For many people, Politics is not as in depth as many of us here view it. I think those are the type of people whose minds could still be changed. Those individuals are just barely beginning to likely really pay attention to the election stuff, if at all, and the full cycle hasn't really begun yet.

I don't think you're going to find a ton of people on a forum like this who HONESTLY could say they don't know who they wll vote for. Most likely, in a place like this, what you have is someone saying "they don't know" but in reality they have a good guess of who it is that they're LIKELY to vote for and whether there's an honest and legitimate shot to go the other way. I think the people whose minds may be swayed one way or another are those who will only really make their voices heard much in the political realm on electoin day.

Moderator's Warning:
The thread's topic is whether or not voters minds can be changed at this point.

The over the top, one liner, trolls that aren't addressing the topic but are just tossing our broad baiting insults need to end or you're getting booted

I think the debates will change some minds. Reagan/Carter debates were significant to the vote, so were Kennedy/Nixon.
 
Re: Can anyones mind be changed?

The fact that we only have coke or pepsi to choose from really doesn't give us a choice. Some people want sprite. Others sunkist. Put me down for a mountain dew. Unless of course we are in NYC, then forget it.

you can vote for mountain dew, but it probably has no chance of winning.
 
Re: Can anyones mind be changed?

I might vote for Obama if it means the GOP decides to get its head screwed on straight about social values. The Protestant Work Ethic of rugged individualism needs a boot from the platform in exchange for discourse ethics.

Huckabee, where are you?

Apart from total-immersion venues like DP, I think most people don't make up their minds until they see the political ads and read the dirt. Aside from many of us here, most people are busy earning a living, raising a family and putting food on the table to give much serious thought to what they're actually going to do until much closer to election time.

I think we can expect two things to happen: Blacks will not turn out to vote in the same numbers they did in the last election. And many of those who voted for Obama last time won't be casting a vote for him this year. Maybe there's hope. But I doubt it.

Re: Can anyones mind be changed?

Back on topic:

God help us if the majority of Americans can't consider both candidates.
 
Re: Can anyones mind be changed?

lol--------------lol

Realistically the election isnt going to come down to independents or undecided. History tells us the election will come down to who spends the most. Every presidential election does as do the majority of other elections.
 
Re: Can anyones mind be changed?

anyone......? I am so lonely.

Here to help.
I won't vote for Romney or Obama, but while I have a good idea whom to vote for, I am still undecided.
 
Re: Can anyones mind be changed?

Realistically, it would take a the revelation of major impropriety on Obama's behalf to change my mind.
 
Re: Can anyones mind be changed?

I believe that about 60% of voters have already made up their mind, and wont change, even if the candidate dies.

The rest is made up of true independents, who flutter between parties like butterflies.
