To put them (undecided voters) in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of s▓▒░ with broken glass in it?"
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.'
Update: this was a David Sedaris in the New Yorker he was quoting.
