I have to admit it makes me feel a little hinky when we hope for a “Bradley effect,” and embrace or encourage racism as a means of winning votes. “Hinky” is not the right word. Dishonorable. It feels dishonorable. We should be better than that. And it feels like it dishonors John McCain, who has based his whole career on honor.

Good grief, troll. I can smell your DU stink clear here to the UP. I bet you’re still upset that Che got venitilated, the Berlin Wall fell and you’re not in the same cell with your Irish buddy kwame kilpatrick.

Go back to your babbling Marxist professors at Ann Arbor and ask for passage to a ChiCom re-education camp. You flunked your attempt to infiltrate FR with your racist garbage.

The “Bradley effect” is not caused by racism, but by viscious anti-racism. Folks don’t want to be confronted by angry leftists when they don’t want to vote for a black candidate for whatever reason, and ‘go along to get along’ when a pollster calls.

There is ample reason to oppose the election of Barack Obama without appeal to his skin color or ancestry: he is part of the Hyde Park left, and associations with Ayers, Wright, Pfleger, Khalidi, Rezko, ACORN, Al Mansour, and his childhood mentor Frank Marshall Davis are all just symptoms of that fact.

I wouldn’t vote for a member of the Hyde Park left regardless of his or her skin color or ancestry. I’d have the stones to tell pollsters, even odious leftist push-pollsters, even to their face.

Some people don’t have the guts to express their true feelings about a candidate’s ideologies or positions when the candidate is black, hence the Bradley effect.
