Epic indecision among GOP voters

By Todd Domke | Thursday, December 6, 2007 | The Boston Globe

“…The most striking thing about the presidential contest in both parties is the high percentage of voters who are undecided or only “leaning” toward a candidate, even after a year of campaigning. What accounts for the indecision?

My theory: Many Democrats are undecided because they are afraid of losing. Many Republicans are undecided because they’re afraid of winning. Democrats worry they might pick a nominee who ends up being less electable than they imagined during the primaries (post-Kerry trauma). Republicans worry they might pick a nominee who wins but then disappoints them (post-Bush syndrome)….”…BS
