There are a lot of psycological issues in situations like these. From talking to a lot of "undecided voters" i got the impression that they had all but made up their minds. Most of them enjoy in the thought that both candidates are pushing for their vote, so they remain "undecided", but in reality they are just waiting for some arbritray time to announce their decision- in this case the third debate, or it might be a political rally they planned on attending. So i think this is more of a carryover of the fact that Kerry easily won the first debate, and again won the second (though not by as much), more than kerry winning the third.
