Undecideds are trolling for attention. No fucking way you don't know anything about either candidate that leaves you undecided.

Does foreign policy mean we won't get any "When I was Governor of Massachusetts" anecdotes?
That could work out in his favor, at least one incredibly annoying aspect of his personality not to worry about.

I think they got the only informed undecided voters in America for the second debate.
They all sounded like disappointed Obama voters tbh

I didn't see the segment, but that's what I have been noticing as well. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of the undecided are past Obama voters. They had high hopes, were let down, and are now wondering if they should just let someone else in (even though I bet they can't really say how in detail Romney will better service them as president), even though they like Obama a little bit more. Clearly, though, at this point it's a lack of research and real inquiry of those who still don't know what leader they want who can better serve their interests for the next 4 years.

Israel , Iran and china will be whole debate.

Both will say we support Israel unconditionally and will not grow balls.

Both will say Iran can not have nukes. One will say we need to go to war other will say talk but tough.

Both can't do anything about china they will repeat the things said in previous debates.

Apparently they sliced and diced a bunch of "undecided" voters' demographics, and apparently they are, for the most part, people that aren't engaged in the system, mostly voted Obama, are disappointed in Obama (the number I heard was 20/60 favorable/unfavorable) but don't really care for Romney either (his number was stated as 15/65).

Undecideds are the people who don't really care either way, and are stuck with either a half-hearted second chance of Obama, or a half-hearted gamble on the new guy.

I think Obama decided there weren't enough undecideds and figured he could win with his base. Romney knows his base will vote against Obama no matter what, so he is playing for as many "in the middles" as he can grab.

Are any streams pausable/resumable??? Tonight Is the Bad Girls Club reunion part 1 and I NEED TO SEE IT, but would love to watch the debate in whole during the commercial breaks.

Gonna be interesting to see what Bob Schieffer comes up with. I think he's very good but tends to get hung up on details and hammers them to the detriment of the big picture. That's fine for a Sunday show chopped into 7 minute segments but given 90 minutes who knows what will happen.

Just look at his schedule. 45 minutes on the Middle East plus 15 minutes on the Afghan/Pakistan/Taliban war. No explicit mention of Europe or Mexico in the outline.

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to change the channel unless a fight breaks out.

Just keep it fair, it isn't the moderator's job to do anything other than keep them on-topic and on-time. I wish they would get a beep after 2 minutes, and mics off at 2:05. Both candidates have no regard for the time and it irks me to hell and back.

This would be the best solution. Cutting their mics off would remedy the issue of the two speaking over the moderator.

I just want them to have free speech where the mod just says "talk" to both of them and a battle breaks out. Would be so much fun seeing them try to out talk each other.

God these "undecided" voters being interviewed on CNN are idiots......
Click to expand...

They aren't undecided...they're uninformed. IE, despite having plethora of information at a click's notice, they still don't know anything about the President that's serving them for the past 4 years or the challenger that's been campaigning for the past two.

That SNL short is proving to be more and more correct by the week. Fucking idiots, the lot of them.

These two have been running and been in the news for almost six years now and you're still not sure? Fuck outta here

what is more worrying is the comment that this debate is the decider for them....so they are practically useless to the focus group if they arent interested in whats being discussed

Isn't being unable to decide between the candidate at this point kinda hint you that you're probably not the best person to be educating the next generation?
Not that I believe those people are undecided, but man, I really wish we stop acting like it's something to be proud of.

Don't watch CNN and they're awful on-screen voter graphics.

It's amazing that we are just a razor thin margin away from saying, President Romney, despite his utter weakness on foreign policy.

If Romney pulls a fast one and tries to attack Obama from the left, I'll probably die of laughter. I'd also have to congratulate Romney on his massive balls for attempting that on live national television.

as someone who is watching American news channels for the first time in these debates, this is more entertaining than current US television shows, watching fox news after the first debate and cnn after the last.
