I think he’s right. As soon as Hillary won New Hampshire, all the pundits and pollsters were scrambling to figure out how they coulf have missed the outcome by such a wide margin (Polls showed Obama 13 Points ahead and Hillary won by 3). Right away they started floating the theory that people were not telling the pollsters the truth because they didn’t want to say they wouldn’t vote for the black guy. This theory continued to gain legs and they equated it to an election in California back in the 80’s when Tom Bradley a Black LA Mayor was ahead in the polls by a wide margin for Governor on election day, but he lost to a white man by 1%. At that time, the pollsters adopted “The Bradley Theory” that whites didn’t want to appear racist, so they lied to pollsters. This “Bradley Theory” was repeated by every cable pundit and pollster over and over to provide cover for the big difference between thepols and the NH Dem. outcome. The media continued to exploit the racial vote in NV which showed heavily black for Obama and heavily white for Clinton, Thus, Crawford has it right. It wasn’t the Clinton or Obama campaigns that exploited the racial card, it was the media which wants to control events.
