Washington Post analysis: Undecided voters' lack of interest leaves election in hands of party faithful

"It seems that more than 96 percent of voters have already made up their minds about this election," the ad begins.

"Well, I guess some of us are just a little harder to please," it continues. "We're not impressed by political spin and 30-second sound bites. Before you get our vote, you're going to have to answer some questions. Questions like, 'When is the election?' 'How soon do we have to decide?' 'What are the names of the two people running?' "

As you might have guessed, the ad is a spoof. We're in that blissful few months before an election in which NBC's "Saturday Night Live" becomes really, really good.
