Undecideds Not So Undecided Via Political Wire, this follows everything I have been reading about the presidential election. The undecideds are heavily favoring John Kerry and it doesn't seems like George W. Bush can do anything to get them back.

The only place this amendment is going to reappear will be in a Bush-Cheney 20-second spot - coming soon to the rural areas of a swing state near you."
