Coming Friday: The Undecideds

BOARDMAN — They’re undecided, but they’re quite informed.

They’re five Mahoning Valley residents ranging from a college senior to a retiree. One recently lost his job while another is searching for a second job to make ends meet.

While they have differences, they agree on one thing — they don’t know who’ll get their vote in the presidential election.

Brought together by The Vindicator, five members of “The Undecideds” are meeting once a week this month. They met for the first time earlier this week at a round table munching on finger foods at the Youngstown Sports Grille in Boardman.

They’re discussing the issues important to them ­— and to many voters — that will ultimately lead to decisions on voting for Democrat Barack Obama or Republican John McCain.

When it comes to their issue of greatest concern, the five all had the same answer: The economy.

The five also said they’re concerned about health care coverage.

It’s directly impacted at least three of the group’s members.
