1. Somebody call Fluffdaddy and tell him his whole world is made up |
|
:rofl:
In fact the lead is even expanding, with Obama edging toward 53% now. One of the Worry Brigade's chief morons was on here this morning suggesting that a 5% spread indicated a 1-2% "Bradley Effect." These guys will still be spewing this imbecilic trinket when Obama departs after his second term. They cherish the fake ass "bradley Effect" like a child, God knows why.

2. Obama got a slightly higher percentage (2 points) of white people than Kerry did. |
|
And, if there is one thing we know that Kerry is, it is a white guy. He's great, but, wow. That guy is white. And I say that as a white person myself. ;)

Seriously, who tells a pollster they will vote for the black candidate when they are secretly going to vote for the white one? That just doesn't make sense at all.
Polls can be wrong sometimes. Hell look at the Begich/Stevens race. Pollsters got that race wrong by over double digit margins.
