Do you know anybody...

Do you know anybody who is still actually undecided between Obama & Romney (or an alternative)?

Friends, co-workers, family, whatever.

I honestly do not. At best I know third partiers going with Gary Johnson but per your question... that's still a decided vote and not undecided which is what I kind of took your question to mean.

Yep. Exactly how I meant it.

From my personal history, I've found a lot of people will talk big, and act all certain. However, when it's just them, the voting booth and their conscience, that's when they come face-to-face with their "certainty." This is why polls don't really mean anything.

Everything is biased except the voting booth.
(Unless you consider the black panthers at the front doors to the voting centers)

My experience is the opposite with people. They talk big about being independent then vote as predictablely as anyone can be.

That too. My point is...there are a lot of people who are sure who they'll vote for, and there are a lot of people who are sure of who they think they'll vote for.

I'm leaning Romney but am still not 100% decided. While it is unfair to Obama in my calculus, I have no expectation that the House will change hands and I do not see how he and the House will ever reach a compromise in such a polarized partisan atmosphere. I think Romney being a member of the same party could pull the House back from the edge of insanity in a way that will be face-saving for the GOP in a way that Obama could never do. When it comes to economics, the House always has the upperhand and unfortunately people like Cantor really are dangerous to our economy in their strict adherence to their naive philosophies.
