As Bush campaigns in swing states, undecided voters weigh their choices.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: William Douglas
NASHVILLE, Tenn. _ To see how closely divided the American electorate is, look no further than the Farmer family of Follansbee, W.Va.
Mary Farmer, 61, voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and enthusiastically plans to do it again in November because of his "strong moral character and because he's not wishy-washy."
Daughter Karen Farmer, 39, is firmly ensconced in Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's camp because "I support our troops in Iraq, but I don't necessarily want them over there."
Dad Kenneth Farmer, 63, a retired steelworker, has no clue what he's going to do when he enters the voting booth.
