Bradley effect my left testicle...People are not voting for a guy who wants to take their hard earned money...

Implied racism is a ugly method for spin bud. And the Bradley effect is little more than a left wing method of dehumanizing those who oppose them.

I agree, but that's not what the Bradley Effect refers to. People are afraid to tell pollsters that they won't vote for Barry because they don't want to be seen as racists, not because they are racists. That causes pollsters to overestimate support for Barry, and that is what what the campaign fears. They don't know who will vote for them.

No, racist reasons against Obama are real. It helped Hillary in states like PA and is helping McCain in PA. We got burned by it the first time Jindal ran, where he way underperformed Bush in North Louisiana parishes and precincts. This American Life, an NPR radio show, has interviews with Obama canvassers in PA, especially folks calling union households in PA, where they are running into it. I'm a white guy in NH and I hear racist jokes and comments all the time about black people they see on TV, including Obama (there aren't really any actual black people here). I've heard it in Arkansas and Mississippi visiting relatives, too-- folks who happily voted for X42 in 1992 and 1996.

Everyone needs to go read some PUMA websites. After reading those websites, I feel invigorated.

They will never vote for The One. Most of them sound pretty intelligent and love the ideals of this country.

They know the Democrat party screwed them out of their primary vote and they won’t let it happen in this election.
