Well, as far as what would tip the scales, I couldn't tell you. I'm very interested in the debates for one thing.
To be honest and put it simply, what it comes down to is I can't stand the Bush administration because of MANY issues with rights, but I also don't believe Kerry to have enough conviction for what is necessary for national security. Not to say I agree with everthing Bush has done, but that's the general sum of my main issues with the 2 candidates.
There's also the fact that I live in Illinois and it's pretty much guaranteed to go to Kerry. I've said many times before that I believe very strongly in 3rd party voting, even under current circumstances. I think voting for someone whom you think has a chance to win, while knowing there is another person who basically has no chance but whom you agree with more, is a very bad way to vote. Factor that into the fact Kerry will win this state anyway, it's pretty likely that I'll vote for a 3rd party candidate to bring attention to what issues I believe are important and add support behind a party gaining more notoriety. But, between the two main candidates, if I end up voting for either, the debates will likely be what convinces me.
