Gail Collins, from Thursday, 10/16:
At this point, the candidates only care about a handful of people in Ohio who have managed to avoid noticing that Obama and McCain disagree on virtually every important issue facing the nation, thereby making it impossible for anyone with any actual opinions to be torn between them. Plus a couple of folks who got picked for a long-running television panel of undecided voters and don't want to admit they've made up their mind because they'll get thrown out.
My impression is that anyone left in the "undecided" category at this late date, with so much information at their disposal indicating how not close this is and how clearly unfit the McCain/Palin ticket is to lead the country, is probably close to brain death.
