Yikes! America's republic gets boiled down to a tweet or status update... "Dude, how should I vote? (Tell me in 140 chars or less.)" Wake up America! Do some research before you decide the fate of the free world.

AYTM.COM reports:
A recent study shows that social media has a big influence on Americans' decision to vote. What do they have to say about voting influence?

I really do not think there are any undecided voters. Everything is pretty much in place for the election. The debates are pure and simply entertainment and watch who trips. Undecided will probably not show up. Independent voters will and they are not all about Obama . Just look at the middle east on fire while he is late night TV attention. Hard to believe that the middle east has that many American flags to burn. Think about it

For sure! I don't know how any one could be undecided at this point.

I would figure the social media might be the best place to go since you get to hear opinions of so many people who claim to be your friends - beats going to the twisted spin media doctors who are going to lie to you anyway...right???

I took college courses later in life. A lot of my fellow students didn't know the difference between The Revolutionary War and The Civil War.

unfortunately the scary part is she is not - and if they know who Christopher Columbus was, it is as a scum sucking serial killer slime

...thud.

Wow. I've come across a thread wondering about education before but I still can't comprehend that a non-american like me has more knowledge about America than Americans. asdfkjl; And the most I've been to the US was a couple of months on holiday when I was 8.

And while killing the natives were bad can we please remember that the olden days were way different than now? Jeez. The way people talk its as if they still hold a grudge from hundreads of years ago.

They do and I can't fault them, neither the slaves or the Indians.

I understand grudges from 50-60 years back. But hundreads of years ago? I'm Filipino. We've been conquered by the Spanish (for 300 years), then colonised by America, and then taken over by the Japanese during WWII and yes sometimes we get annoyed. But you don't see us pointing fingers all the damn time. Frankly it gets annoying. I understand history, but history is there to teach us a lesson, we don't study it to hold grudges and point fingers.

Evidently the African-Americans do as well as the Indians. History tells us where the other person is coming from and I understand that.

I am not joking. Ever see Leno stop the college kids and ask them those kinds of questions? They don't have a clue and neither did my fellow students.

Not as scary as the fact that some people just pick the first name when they vote for president.
