“Undecideds” vs “Nonvoters:” is the election in their hands because “They’re too busy, fed up or say their vote doesn’t count”– ?

From NBCNews.com:

Political pundits say undecided voters will determine the election, but little is said about people like Brown, King and Lala, who aren’t voting. Since the 1960s, voter turnout has steadily declined in the U.S., which already ranks near the bottom among established democracies. In 2008, 64 percent of voting-age citizens voted, compared with 93 percent in Chile, 86 percent in Germany and 74 percent in Canada.

Frankly, it was the “decided not to vote, stayed at home” persons — mostly Conservatives — who put Mr Obama in the White House in 2008.

Thanks, guys.

Further:

NBC News recently asked readers via Twitter, Facebook and through NBCNews.com to tell us why they won’t cast their ballots. Their responses paralleled those from a 2008 survey by the U.S. Census Bureau: They don’t like their choices, they’re busy or they’re not interested.

“Everyone’s pressed for time these days and therefore whether or not an employer is actively allowing people to vote the employees may feel time-pressed or constrained to take that legally protected time,” said Susan Schoenfeld, senior legal editor for Business & Legal Resources, which provides guidance to employers on human resources issues.

Back in 2008, I KNOW there was a rather large contingent of Conservatives who simply decided to stay home on Big Tuesday.

What do you think now?

I know there will be a certain percentile of lazy persons who will stay home simply “because.”  They are the uninvolved, the disinterested, the indifferent.

But “undecided”?

I ask again: how incredibly stupid must you be to choose this category?  Even elementary school children can see through the ways of Mr Obama.
