Undecided voters just looking for attention

Satire

A group of undecided voters convened for the third and final debate, admitted that they are not so much undecided as much as they like the attention.

"By remaining undecided I get the chance to be on TV," said Paul Miller, who then went on to score the debate as a tie in order to retain his enigmatic air and boost his chances of making more TV appearances. "You know, I've tried getting on reality shows and game shows, and I even go to baseball games with my cell phone handy just in case."

A few of the other undecided voters agreed that the media attention could be a career boost, while others were looking for a more personal connection. "I don't want some anonymous voice from a phone bank," said Sarah Bridges, "I want a call directly from the candidate and a personal promise to me. Maybe a White House tour and a stay-over in the Lincoln Bedroom."

Overall these voters recognize their importance and do not take their responsibility lightly, after all, they could be the deciding factor in this year's election.
