Talk about flip and flop

It's starting to become a joke.
The television networks prance out their own group of "undecided voters" during the final presidential debate to bring in gimmick-thirsty viewers and highlight their own credentials of objectivity.
But after a presidential campaign that has lasted almost four years, the most amazing fact of all is that some voters still characterize themselves as undecided. Would these voters have a tough time punching a ballot on a popularity contest between puppies and kittens?
Granted coverage of issues hasn't necessarily been comprehensive in news reports of the presidential race, but both independent research groups and the two candidates themselves have placed policy statements on their Web sites available for anyone to study.
Aside from the generic "change" statements spewing out of the mouths of both campaigns, the funniest thing about debate coverage is the ability of network news anchors to find undecided voters.
Do network news producers walk door to door? Or do they just place an ad in the classifieds, alongside that free front porch couch or the $500 pickup truck that's still stuck in fifth gear.
I look at these news segments with cynical eyes. Either these voters just want to be on television, or they spend six hours in the grocery store every week looking for the perfect watermelon.
If these voters are still "on the fence" come Election Day, then the next president will likely have to do quite a bit of "fence mending" once he takes office. And unless I'm wrong, neither Obama nor McCain have the ranch-hand experience of their predecessor.
But wait, maybe that didn't work out as well as we thought it would. Maybe I'm starting to flip-flop a little bit myself.
