There’s nothing the punditocracy class (including the likes of Hawke and Dove) hate more than undecided voters. When the choices seem so clear to the media, who are constantly pushing a frontrunner narrative onto a race that is still plainly up for grabs in both parties, those fewer and fewer undecided voters seem willing to be swayed by just about any interaction with a candidate. Indeed, an individual’s pick for President sometimes seems to matter exclusively to whom such a voter is talking to. If they are guesting on a left-wing talk show, they will support whomever the host seems to favor, and vice versa on the Limbaugh show (which means that most callers in to Rush are fed up with the entire Republican field, yet can’t bear to support Ron Paul). Some are straight-out asking for advice on how to vote via the web.
Perhaps most thought-provoking is the idea that these undecided voters are just civic-minded enough to vote, but not enough to actually care.
Hawke and Dove bring two undecided voters into the studio to delve into their minds and find out their reactions to each of the candidates for President on both sides of the aisle. Can either man sway them to his or her side?
