Undecided voters
key in election
Dear Editor:
TV news coverage of the presidential debates brings to mind the
coverage of
the OJ Simpson trial what with it's spawning off into TV notoriety those
previously unknown pundits and "experts" who offered their opinions as
to
the conduct and pending outcome of the trial. While OJ may have faded
from our memory, these OJ trial spin-offs are still with us live, in
color,
ad nauseam, espousing their learned views on an infinitude of subjects.
Well, move over OJ experts! New icons have made the scene!; spawned
by the
presidential debates.
Yep, your "UNDECIDED VOTERS"!
"UNDECIDED VOTERS" are obviously today's experts of prominence
thrust into the spotlight of fame. These folks are "UNDECIDED VOTERS"
as
opposed to your run-of-the-mill undecided voters. "UNDECIDED VOTERS"
are an
indispensable adjunct to the electoral process leading right up to the
November 7 election day in gauging which candidate may be suitable to
become
our next president.
"Well, what if an "UNDECIDED VOTER" decides to decide", you
say?
Won't happen!
Your real, professional and dedicated "UNDECIDED VOTERS" never
decide!
Their inherited profession obligates them to occupy a place of TV
prominence
week after week to announce to their anticipative subjects the learned
and
dramatically announced decision that they are still an "UNDECIDED
VOTER".
What will "UNDECIDED VOTERS" do when there is no election on the
horizon?
Well, they're undecided.
