No? Me either. Weird. My white skin didn't stop me from voting for Barack.

1. Lol. Good man. Jon Stewart needs to ask Obama whether his white half tried to stop his black half
from voting for himself.

13. I think Obama said that his "two halves" were at war over how to vote when he went on a few nights
ago!

18. Yes, but Stewart needs to ask a follow-up question to see what actually happened to Obama when he
voted.

5. What if you're neither black or white? What kind of effect are you supposed to experience
to prevent yourself from voting for a black man?

7. LOL I actually believe in the "anti Bradley" effect
more than it's opposite. I think that there are more white people out there afraid to admit they like BO and will present a front to their republican tribe, knowing that they personally voted for our guy.

9. You experienced the "Super Secret Subliminal Bradley Effect"
In which you subconsciously picked McCain, while consciously thinking you were voting for Obama. For reallies, white skin will do that to ya!

19. I think I inked in my circle just a shade darker for the first African American President

But, that was just to make sure the machine wouldn't misread my ballot

22. HOLY SHIT!
Now MSNBC is talking about the Bradley Effect. Some African American guy thinks it's real--it must be! I knew I should have voted for McCain due to this.
