A focus group campaign plant or a professional undecided voter?

Free Republic posters and several other readers have sent along a video showing an “undecided” member of Frank Luntz’s focus groups who showed up at both the Sept. 5 New Hampshire debate and last night’s NH debate. Anyone recognize the dude? HA’s Bryan and Allah mull over accusations that one campaign or another planted the guy. BP: “He seems more like a Greg Packer figure if anything, a legitimate private citizen who turns up in the press because he sets out to do that on his own.” AP: “Some of the Freepers are wondering if he’s a “professional” focus group member…Obviously that would be a problem.”
Yep. I think Frank Luntz, not any of the campaigns, is the one who needs to answer the questions about who Mr. Undecided is–and how he managed to end up in both focus groups. Transparency about how all of the people in the room ended up there would be wise.
Update 10:50pm Eastern. Here’s an explanation, sort of, from Luntz. The focus group is an “anthropological” effort, says Luntz, in which members often are invited back if they’ve changed their minds. Still doesn’t answer how exactly they find these people and who they are.

here's a video pointing out the same thing as yours, but the day before and without the crappy accusations...
Now...
First, Where does your video show that thw guy is an ACTOR?...he shows up in two fpcus groups and all of a sudden he's nullified from being undecided?...
Second, LISTEN to what he actually says...
The first time it sounds like he's endorsing McCain...But the second time he gives points to Romney...
Why would he be a plant?????...For WHO????...He's not consistant on what he says, so saying he's out there for a reason is stupid if you can't even come up with the reason...
Third?...Who says Fox had the knowledge?...Luntz heads Luntz, Maslansky Stategic Research, and he's been doing it for scores of media outlets for many years...
According to
his bio...

In the 2000 election cycle, Frank conducted almost two dozen focus groups for MSNBC and CNBC, including live sessions following each night of both party conventions and presidential debates. His reoccurring segments on MSNBC/CNBC, “100 Days, and 1000 Voices” won a coveted Emmy Award in 2001. He was a primary night and election night commentator for “The News with Brian Williams” on MSNBC in 2000 and for “Hardball” in 2004. Frank was the first and most vociferous public opinion expert to predict the GOP's demise in the 2006 congressional elections. Frank has conducted focus group sessions for all three major television networks, two of the three cable news channels, "PBS" and the "BBC". He also conducted focus groups for the "Wall Street Journal," "Newsweek," "The New Yorker," and "U.S. News & World Report."

Now knowing this, would anyone in their right mind think that...
a) He would put his years of credibility and career on the line by using an actor?...
b) There was some secret plan that included Fox when he has other outlets to serve also?...
Sorry...The video first shown just throws crap on the wall praying something sticks...
