Default 15% of voters still undecided? Is this a fallacy?

From: Cafe, Election Central, MuckrakerCafe Talk | Talking Points Memo |

Maybe in years past a good percentage of voters didn't feel passionate enough about a presidential candidate and wanted to wait and see what they had to say.
But if you don't know what the two candidates stand for by now, you have to be living under a rock.
Anyone have a gut instinct about whether or not there really are undecided voters out there? 15%?
Do you, as the writer asks, think there are many serious voters out there who are still undecided?

ABSOLUTELY!....

I wouldn't be surprised if 15% was low...

I think most people would rather have a third option available because the 2 current candidates are Larry's brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl...

We have a choice between a candidate who would hold the fort until a real president shows up and a candidate who wants to turn this country into a socialized experiment Marx would be proud of...

I know this...

On January 20, 2009, America loses...It's just a matter of deciding to what degree...

And those roles and the candidates portraying them are interchangeable when you think about it. BTW Marx did state "I'm not a Marxist"

I disagree. I think we will be the opposite. BETTER OFF no matter who wins.

Better off short-term...

People will LOVE the concessions Obama would make as president in creating a class war...

But the sowing will be reaped in the long run when his policies and social programs destroy the entrepeneurship this country was founded on...

I envision a country where small business becomes non-existant and the common man has no choice but to become a government worker...

Agreed,we will be better off no matter who wins! The only thing worse than the Socialism that so many falsely attribute to Obama is the Neo Facisim that McCain is willing to embrace in order to attain the presidency.Take heart,neither candidate completely fits these definitions...
