We're all racists if we don't vote for the Messiah!

Obama has historically polled 4% better than his votes.

L. Douglas Wilder laughs as he relates the story Jackson once told him

There is no way that is a true story. Jackson made it up. If a guy felt that way, he would never tell Jackson about it, it doesn't make sense.

I think the good pollsters acknowledge this possibility and are accounting for it.

I bet the polls are pretty much right on.

(Then again, Obama underperformed in NH...but...for the most part, other than that, in the primaries the polls were right on the money).

This is fast becoming the nuttiest election ever.

black liberals who are disproportionately represented in newsrooms across America love this little self serving myth

them and their cracker enablers

I don’t care why people vote against him, just so they do. Would not bother me a lick if every racist in the country voted against him.

[freespirited]

But he did see potential for error based on the people who decline to participate in polls, whom he describes as largely lower-income whites more likely than the population at large to have racially intolerant views.

So the despised "rich white men" are more racially tolerant than the poor that Rev. Wright & friends portray as paragons of virtue?

Who would have thunk it?

I know a lot of democrats, and they’re not moonbats like the national dem party. They’re not racists, either (however, we’ve got a few of those here in Appalachia.) But, not one will indicate any kind of support for Obama—the Brady effect? I think not. It’s the empty suit, un-American that turns them off-—so much so they’re somewhat ashamed that he’s now their party’s standard-bearer.

Guilt by innuendo....more playing of the Jesse Jackson race card.

Those who vote against Obama will vote against him because he is incredibly inexperienced and unprepared to lead this nation. He’s never been an executive, a governor, a military leader, a successful businessman or professional. He did something called “community organizing” and by his own report he didn’t have the best results. He’s never passed a significant piece of legislation. He was in a state legislature a few years, and then after a breathtaking 143 days in the US Senate he declared he was going to run for the presidency. Since that time, that’s all he’s done.

Obama’s inexperience is beyond belief.

[eaglestar]

Looks as if the AP is looking for an out, an excuse when Obama does NOT win this November.

I wanted to vote for an Eskimo pygmy used furniture salesman raised by renegade Baptist floor installers who are descendands of Jesse James and Tarzan. The democrats are racists for not running my dream candidate.
