FRANK LUNTZ'S VERSION OF "UNDECIDED VOTER"

Luntz conducted a focus group of FAUX News on the 3rd Presidential Debate and supposedly all the 23 people in the group were undecided voters. Here's a news flash - undecided voters don't parrot wingnut radio memes. Here's a couple of examples1:

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He was able to look into the people's eyes and explain all of his attitudes and all of his policies. That is why he won the debate. But I still don't trust him. I would not vote for him.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's right because Obama has never answered the question. He had an opportunity tonight and instead he blamed friends of Ronald Reagan, the Justice Department, and never once took responsibility for his support with ACORN and Ayers.
