My swing voting sister

[Droopy]

My sister was all gung-ho for Kerry after seeing the Democratic National Convention. She voted for Bush last time so I was really surprised to hear her talking up Kerry. She called me after she saw Kerry's speech at the convention and talked for a solid half hour about all the great stuff that Kerry wanted to do and how she was going to vote for him. I was elated.

Fast forward to today. I got a phone call from her and we were just talking about life and stuff and then she says, "I'm not so sure I'm going to be voting for Kerry." At first I was kind of pissed and then I just asked her why. She said it was because of Kerry's indecisiveness. Wow, I wonder where she heard that. I went through several reasons why it would be to her advantage to vote for Kerry. Her husband is a union worker. They make around $60,000 a year. I told her about the job losses and the economy to which she said that she thought the economy was doing pretty good :puke:. I told her about Kerry's stance on Iraq- I think that's where this indecisiveness bit is coming from- and how he really hasn't changed positions on that issue even though BushCo keeps saying he has. Nothing worked.

It's very frustrating to see her doing this swinging thing. She's at the whim of the tv ads and the media talking heads. And I can't help wondering how many people are like this. She gets all of her information from the tv. She doesn't have internet access so I can't point her to excellent resources such as this site. She thinks Bush is better for America. She doesn't have any party affiliation, she just votes for the person who she thinks will do a better job. What would you say to someone like that?
