Hillary Clinton Supporter Undecided

With the political conventions now over time is running out for undecided voters to pick a presidential favorite. But one supporter of former Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton says she doesn't like either major party candidate. Merri Monks  is from the Chicago suburb of Oak Park.

MONKS: I don't really have a lot of hope at this point. I think we have two terrible candidates to choose from, basically.

Monks says if the election were held tomorrow, she might not vote. That isn't what most Clinton supporters are saying. According to a recent Gallup Poll, 81 percent of Clinton backers say they'll vote for Democrat Barack Obama over Republican John McCain. That's up from 70 percent before the Democratic convention.
