At my news station we are organizing debate-watching parties during all four of the presidential/VP debates this fall. I am in charge of recruiting undecided voters to come to these parties so we can pick their brains after the debates about whether their minds have changed, what they’re looking for, etc.
The thing is…these people are crazy! I just invited one undecided voter who said that he cannot come because he has five classes and must study many hours a day. He then proceeded to recite to me every grade in every class that he’s taken over the past two years, and then he told me what place he got in his school’s liberal arts fair this year and what his project was.
Really? Is that necessary? I felt like I was stroking the ego of a 5-year-old who had just made a ceramic hand print.
