Why are there still undecided voters in America?

It boggles my mind to think that there are still undecided voters in America for the 2008 Election. Whatever your deep-seeded political ideologies are, surely you can see the stark contrasts between an Obama/Biden administration and a McCain/Palin administration. And if you aren't so ideologically motivated, surely you see that the priorities and strengths of the two presidential candidate are at opposing ends of the poll.

The beautifully written humorous essay by David Sedaris, entitled Undecided (published in the New Yorker) better expresses my true feelings about undecided voters in this particular American election. Sedaris writes,

"To put them [undecided voters] in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

Thank you David Sedaris for expressing my deepest intangible thoughts in such a simple yet elegant manner, thank you.
