Down to the wire
There seem to be a lot of people on both sides of the debate who think pretty much the same thing about voters for 'the other guy'.
'Are you CRAZY?'
In what I find a fairly interesting turn of events, my (admittedly limited) experience has Kerry supporters who are raving at Bush voters almost universally assuming that people voting for Bush do so out of support for all his policies. They can never seem to wrap their ears around the numerous examples of Bush policies that annoy the heck out of people, that are declared 'just plain bad', or words to that effect. How they manage not to hear something repeated so often by so many is a mystery. Why is easy.
They refuse to hear the policy disagreements Bush voters have with the President, because paying attention to them would force Kerry voters to confront an awful truth: a whole lot of people dislike what Bush does, but believe Kerry would be worse.
Well, now it's crunch time. I don't know that there are really that many real 'undecided' voters out there, but I do suspect that a lot of people have changed their minds over the last two months or so. There are a lot of reasons why. Diane West explores a bunch of them. Gut check
