Your Low-Information Voter Update

From today's Kaplan Daily (a.k.a., "The Once-Great Washington Post"), a look at your average "undecided voter" (who voted for McCain/Palin in 2008). Some sample quotes:

On Clint "Deadwood" Eastwood's soliloquy with a chair:
“That was funny, nice, airy,” she said. “Clint was telling us that we own the country — and we can change it.”

On Willard "One Percent" Romney:
“I thoroughly enjoyed that speech,” she said at the end. “It humanized him a little. I feel like I know him a little bit. He had his five points. I still need to see something more on his plan on health — there’s gotta be something affordable for those people like my daughter. But I think if Romney does this well in the debates, I might be leaning his way.”

Irony alert: The article is occasionally interrupted when the "undecided voter" has to attend to a possible fox raiding the chicken coop in her backyard. Willard's "plan on health," indeed.

Sic transit gloria, America.
