this is what a friend at church was telling me today...to watch this week and see if obama hovers under 50 in gallup and moves to 50 in rassmussen rather than look at a lead.
also, he told me that we want to see McCain start breaking over 46% in gallup and rasmussen...
he is a math/stat freak

I don’t recall reading about the Bradley effect when Ken Blackwell ran for governor in Ohio or Steele. I don’t recall any worries about the Bradley effect when Keyes stepped into the fray with Obama in Illinois.
I am really rather weary of people talking about it without reference to the 7 or more percentage points of he public who vote not on the content of character bu the color of skin— supporting Obama.

racism is how LIBERALS blame conservatives for not voting for their candidate...it can’t POSSIBLY be his crappy policies. NOOOOOOO.

I can’t believe the audacity of Obama to build a big victory stage in Grant Park in Chicago for his victory celebration on election night. I know he expects to win, but, does he expect to give a prime time victory speech that night? The early returns from the eastern states are going to give us some clues as to how things are going. If McCain can carry Pennsylvania and hold onto Virginia and North Carolina, for example, Obama may have a very long night to wait before he comes out to declare victory the way he wants to. If McCain also can win Florida, it will be a long night for both campaigns before we see final results.
Or does Obama just want a gathering of the faithful just to say “Hi” to everyone?
I can’t believe this business of Obama and huge crowds. He had to move his convention speech to a stadium, and his election night appearance has to be in a public park where 100,000+ can squeeze in.
To: housedeep
The polls are pathetic. If they need to put 0 over 50% they will to discourage republicans from voting...these polls are a joke.

The fact that we're in the race at all," added Steve Schmidt, "is a miracle. Because the environment is so bad and the head wind is so strong."
Maybe we need somebody with a better attitude running the campaign
Like Rush said we are going to have to drag McCain across the finish line

Or does Obama just want a gathering of the faithful just to say Hi to everyone?Even if he loses, he will claim victory, then unleash the army of lawyers to contest every state where his margin of loss was less than 5%.
This is a coronation - the election is just for show.

He is half white. Many more people, as you say, are voting for him strictly
because he is referred to as
blackCalling him black only hearkens back to the old democrat Jim Crow laws which said that a person with even one drop of AA blood is black.
Each time the Obama calls himself black, he is playing the race card.

I get a lot of phone calls that I don't answer because the caller ID just says OHIO and a number or some other state and a number. Usually not worth the time to pick up the phone. Sometime there isn't even a name.
The annoying thing is when I pick up the phone and say "Hello" and there's a two-second delay of dead air before someone on the other side picks up. HELL-FRICKIN'-LO! You called me. Be on the the flippin' line!

Not the “Bradley Effect”, it will be know as the “Obama Effect” which is when people just can’t bring themselves to vote for a Socialist.

He made the choice; his "typical white" granny didn't make it for him.
