Proof that the The Bradley Effect is a huge danger to us

Poll: Racial views steer some white Dems away from Obama

I know many here wish to stick their head in the sand over this, but the Bradley Effect is real, very real. I'm guessing Obama has to be up by more then 6 points to over come it.

Opinions Pleas.

1. Is this the daily terra alert? We know about this, Obama knows about

this, what's the deal with advertising it here? My head is not in the sand, but there's not a whole lot I can do about it either.

What makes this suddenly the talking point? I'm not understanding why all-of-a-sudden we all need to freak about a known fact; yes, there are bigots in this country, and people who say one thing and do another. Same as it ever was.

10. Agreed. But in this race..polls may be inaccurate..... bigtime

The GOP and McNuts's campaign are counting on the BE.......but they will never say so openly

4. he should paint his face white?

I mean, whether it is real or imaginary really doesn't mean shit, does it? Whatever the vote turns out to be, if it is markedly different from the polls, then either the pollsters were artificially inflating mccain (assuming Obama outperforms the polls) or there is a "bradley affect" (assuming he doesn't). Or something else. But arguing now over whether it is real or myth is pretty much like arguing over whether there is a Sasquatch. It won't change anything.

down by 12 by late October.

There is no stopping the economy from continuing the plunge into the abyss.
The free market true believers and the wallow in the public trough republicans
had sealed their fate. And sadly, ours as well.

So who cares about the closet cases?

6. Ok, this is like the 15th post about this biased push-poll..

why didn't they just come out and ask, are ya voting for Obama, if not, is it because he's black.. you are a number.. no one knows who you are, answer honestly....

7. I tend to belive the opposite.........I think in the current environment there are some outwardly...

right leaning folks that will go in the booth and vote Obama.

Men in particular.

11. Comments about race, and or gender,

have always been to discredit and re-frame this election. Our focus should be to point to the important issues ie. the banks collapsing, and or the illigal war, the illigal wire tapping, and the inability for our great country to provide health care treatment for it's ciizen's. These are the issues.
