Hopefully the small but crucial mostly White states of NH and Iowa go Republican.

When 97% of blacks support obama, it’s just fine......

No, it just means they are a stupid as he is.

As I recall, Clinton got 93% of black vote (although Zero turned out more actual numbers) . Kerry also turned out a higher percent.

Bradley Effect proved a total myth in 08.

I can’t access the subscriber side; what is Romney’s white percentage in this (not just his percent lead over Zero)?

“Add 5% more for the Bradley Effect”

I guess the complete disproving of the “Bradley Effect” theory in 2008 wasn`t enough, huh? It doesn`t exist.

Actually, the same type of reasoning but opposite effect for the squish voter. It goes something like this in the mind’s of a rationalizing squish: I know he’s not qualified but what the heck, we can make history here by voting for Obama. Now I feel better. It makes me feel good! I won’t feel guilt. Yippee. If you recall in 2008, about every two weeks like clockwork, Obama played the race card in some form or fashion.

The feeling “white guilt voter” lying to pollsters could be in play for 2012.

Well, I do not buy the Bradley Effect. That was disproven in 08. I DO buy that the pollsters are turning cartwheels to create vastly inflated Dem samples to show Zero doing ok.

I don't know if it can be disprovable or completely provable or can it be accurately measured, but I DO think it's a distinct possibility.

I agree. Now, this is measurable as we see in the oversampling of Dems and Independent voters in the AP and NBC/Wall Street polls

depends on who one reads on this

and there is not much on this...I would Google “ Buchanan, White Vote, 55% or 57%”..for starters to see

Human Events, VDare, Locust, and other sites some of which are not in favor here

mainstream media and I imagine..ahem...faculty...don’t spend a lot of time pining for how whites will vote

they are just pining for the day when how whites vote doesn’t much matter

Bush II got 58% in 2004 and won handily with nearly 4% more popular vote overall

again it depends on minority turnout and Dem enthusiasm
