How 3 voters made up their minds

In the last week, The Associated Press talked to some respondents to a continuing series of AP-Yahoo News polls to see how they planned to vote in the primaries Tuesday in Indiana and North Carolina.

Several were undecided until practically the last minute. One was particularly troubled by how tough it was to come to a decision.

Here's what they did:

Millie Seifert, 69, of East Bend, Ind. A retired pharmacy technician who supplements her Social Security income by working as a nanny.

The choices: Seifert liked Republican Mike Huckabee until he dropped out. Then she was drawn to Democrat Barack Obama until his former preacher made waves. She was ambivalent about Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, disliking her personally but admiring her grit. She was going back and forth -and back and forth -between Clinton in the Democratic race and John McCain in the noncompetitive GOP primary. "Every time I leave the house I change my mind," she said earlier. "I'm just so confused."

The decision: She voted for Huckabee, who was still on the ballot despite leaving the race two months ago. "He was the one who I wanted in there to begin with."

If she had voted Democratic, she would have gone with Clinton.
