With the election season now officially underway, most people remain undecided.

Lisa Hardwick, Virginia Resident, said, "Well, I'm actually still undecided, but I'm ecstatic that Hillary won last evening and it was so close with Obama. I am excited about that. I still have not decided what I will do personally. It was really a tight race."

Amy Ravitz-Hogan, New York Resident, said, "I think that the conservative Democrat and the moderate Republican are going right down the middle and that's where their success is coming from. I'm disappointed. I like her, but I had another candidate in mind; I'm an Edwards girl."
