I agree, for those of you who like McCain, I think an state Obama does not poll +10%, McCain will win. I think racism is still that strong in the US
Oh how I wish we had a real candidate to vote for
We do! Her name is Sarah Palin.
Pure sophistry.
It’s not racism that is behind the Bradley Effect, it is political correctness.
A candidate like 0bama, with his experience, qualifications, and liberal positions would be trailing McCain by 10+ points if he were white. The only reason why the polls don’t reflect that is because lots of white people would rather be seen as naive than be seen as not open minded. And then if they’re asked by a black pollster, then they definitely feel too uncomfortable to admit they’re not voting for the black guy.
By McCain putting Palin on the ticket, more people feel they can admit to voting for the ticket.

Its not racism.Its his marxist idiology that we will not stand for inspite of the slipknots pushing his agenda.
The Wilder effect has nothing to do with racism, other than the fact that those answering the pollsters are so worried about being accused of racisim that they often claim to be voting for the black candidate, even though they oppose him or her for reasons that may have nothing to do with race.
