It's not a question of who is "on the fence." This election will come down to who can control a majority of the larger states. If Obama cannot unite the democratic party (which he has not proved he is capable of), he will not win the traditionally Democratic states come November. Many of those who are "on the fence" are upper middle class whites, who might even tend to support McCain's moderate economic policies. Finally, Americans, with help from the pundits, will see through Obama's glowing rhetoric and dazzling speeches and will understand that Obama is a candidate of ideals, dreams, hope, ambition; but he is not a candidate of realities.

This argument wholly depends on which type of history you are dealing with. If you are talking about recent history, say, in the last ten years, then it's completely pointless; who would desire to remember the blunders that this country has experienced in the last decade?

However, if you are talking about older history, say, all of American History, then there is still an inherent lack of application to everyday society, unless of course you want to understand a few of Jon Stewart's historical allusions. The prospect of "learning from our mistakes" clearly hasn't registered, especially with those currently in power (Dick Cheney during the first Bush presidency advising against invading Iraq then invading Iraq during the second Bush administration).

If our leaders, check that, if world leaders aren't learning from "past mistakes," how is history actually applicable to the average American?
