I've said it at least once more- if you can't figure out who you are lining up with right now, then you don't deserve to be able to vote because you haven't been paying enough attention. And, again, this isn't to say you can't change your mind- maybe someone unveils a new issue that tips the scales, maybe someone does something you really like, maybe someone gets caught in a closet with a 12 year old- I'm not talking about that. But you should easily be able to answer the question "If the election were held today, who would I vote for".

I think there is some amount of the population that declares themselves undecided because the don't like who they are going to vote for. Based on the issues and what we've seen so far...if I have to vote today I'm voting for McCain. I don't feel particularly good about that vote though.
I don't consider myself undecided, but I can see people keeping themselves on the fence holding out against hope that a better option will present itself.
