GENE RANDALL, CNN ANCHOR: As we count down to election day, we compare notes with one of this country's most well-respected political columnists; he is David Broder of "The Washington Post" and he is here. David, during the first debate you had ten undecided voters, I believe, in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.</s>DAVID BRODER, "THE WASHINGTON POST": Right.</s>RANDALL: Now, a CNN/"Time" poll gave Gore the win in the debate, 51 percent to 37 percent. How did your group of undecideds read that encounter?</s>BRODER: They thought that Gore had won the debate, but they didn't shift. Admit, Gene, that these are folks who are going to be hard for either candidate to sell. They have been undecided up to this point. They were still undecided at the end of the evening.</s>RANDALL: Now, the same poll that I alluded to, David, showed that Bush had come off as more likable by a wide margin. Now, first of all, what did your group think? And, secondly, is that important?</s>BRODER: They did think that Bush was likable. They weren't as critical of Gore as some of the commentary -- we didn't, for example, hear any negative comments about his sighing; but they were unhappy that both candidates set rules and then immediately broke the rules that they had set for their own time limits. These are folks that don't think much about politicians. In the earlier discussion, before the debate began, many of them told us that they wished that Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan had been included. So they're looking around.</s>RANDALL: David, we've got to interrupt at this point. Excuse me, we've got to go to Israel to the Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who is addressing his nation.
