...He said some researchers in the United States are already using automatic association tests to determine why undecided voters seem to be flocking to Republican presidential nominee John McCain, rather than Democrat Barack Obama. The results could prove controversial.
While there is no data as yet to prove it, Gawronski said there is anecdotal evidence that many Americans are uncomfortable with the idea of an African-American president.
And in past automatic association tests, he said even people who consciously express "strong egalitarian convictions" have sometimes betrayed unconscious bias against African-Americans.

Quick, somebody cue the “That’s Racist!” kid.
No, we are uncomfortable with THAT “African-American” as President.
The Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton Race Card.
They should be less concerned with this than some of their own "committed" supporters and the Bradly effect.
Hey, Senator Byrd .. do you mind if I borrow one of yours?
Well... Isn’t this a convenient inconvenience.
It's ok for 95% of blacks to vote for Obama,,,,but if a majority of whites vote for McCain, it's because of racist thinking?
I get it now.
Let's see would it be because his policies suck. Nah, that couldn't be it. Could it be that he hates what America is and wants to change it to a socialist country, Nah, that's not it. Oh well it must be that they are racist. So be it!
OK...so what they are saying is that, as Americans, we don’t have the right to decide whether or not we want an African-American for President? Since when did we loose that right? And since when does voting for whoever we want make us racists?
That really cuts down on the crossover vote usually needed for a Republican to win in Maryland, and frequently in Ohio.
The Democrat big dogs know this yet they are encouraging Obama to go ahead and run. They know he'll lose, and by unexpected margins too.
So, why do they do it? Well, it has something to do with maintaining their position in the Senate, and maybe avoiding a loss in the House. African American voters must not under any circumstances be allowed to crossover to vote for their economic, social or moral self-interests.
Obama is just a way of putting "other" Democrats into office.
Once the campaign is over, he'll be tossed like trash.
OOps...should be bradley effect.
And if Barack Hussein Obama wins the leftist media will say it was in spite of the racist McCain voters.
Don’t Be A Racist - Vote For Obama Because He’s Black
What the hell is an “automatic association test”? ...sounds like a “computer model”.
How about this? How about the fact that Americans are getting to KNOW Obummer and don’t much like communists and racists?
Okay, let’s get this right. The Liberals are offering voters a candidate that is a socialist who is anti-American, antisemitic, anti-military, an appeaser, who has no experience and runs around with and admires terrorists and these morons want to make us out to be racists?
The race card ain’t gonna work, you morons!
Don't deny it. The racist pollsters with the 'Racist' log stuck in their own eye.
This is the same type of talk we heard about Hillary Clinton, regarding whether we’re ready for a woman president. And many of us are ready for a woman president, just not that woman. Same thing with Obama; any opposition assumes it must be due to his race. According to them, there’s just no reason to oppose him otherwise. They can’t comprehend that critical masses of Americans think he’s too liberal.
