		        <![CDATA[<blockquote>Today, however, the UNH Survey Center reports that only about 5 percent of voters statewide are still undecided. Unlike the primary, the policy differences between the two candidates are immense, and of course McCain and Obama are affiliated with different political parties - making the choice less difficult than voting in a primary election.</blockquote>

<p>This is the problem with our current two-party system. Why assume undecided registered Democrats are mulling over Obama or <b>McCain</b>?</p>

<p>There are other progressive candidates on the ballots. Greens, Independents, Constitutionalists, etc have just as many -- if not more -- progressive policy positions that appeal to the more liberal elements of the Democratic party. </p>

<p>After all, those who push for a viable multi-party system don't consider voting for a third party a "wasted vote" if it pushes their party over the public financing threshold. Especially if it's predicted to be a landslide victory for Obama.</p>

<p>To say that undecided Democratic voters have a less difficult choice than in the primary is assumptive.</p>]]>
