[onedude009]

OBAMA WON!wow Michelle is really intelligent, she sure showed Larry =)

Some people have no back-bone. "All a man has in this world is his word and his balls." "My word is my bond" What does this country stand for if you can trust a persons word. Where will we end up? Eternal damnation.

The polls can change the moment you guys made those comments. Something really ugly could be exposed for either candidate. You got a lot of angry Hillary supporters who may go McCain. Most hispanics will vote McCain. A lot of women will vote McCain. This will balance out the black vote for Obama. The reminder will be mostly blue collar white people (McCain's joe the plumber). It is this group that may really affect the election.

Spare us your feigned concern of the fairy tale "Bradley Effect." This is the right's way of priming the pump to reduce shock when they steal the third election in a row (see UNCOUNTED right here in youtube). It's the "caging/purging/vote flipping" effect, folks, as they shred your votes. Believe me, we've seen enough proud bigots inciting riots at the McPalin rallies to know the prejudiced cretins have no need to hide their shame - they wear it like a crown! POLLWATCH and save this election!

Obama is gonna loose the election big time. He will Only get MA, CA, WA, OR, NY, IA and some other states but he will loose big time in PA and Ohio and Virginia is gonna be a big win for Mcain.

THE BRADLEY EFFECT is no longer in play.

PROOF:

2006 Senate Race Steele vs Cardin

10/31/06 Rasmussen Steele 45 vs Cardin 50

11/05/06 Election Steele 44.2 vs Cardin 54.2

2006 Senate Race Corker vs Ford Jr

11/04/06 Rasmussen Corker 51 vs Ford Jr 47

11/05/06 Election Corker 50.7 vs 48

Both Steele and Ford Jr were African-Americans. Steele(R) from Maryland, Ford Jr(D) from Tennessee. As you can see the pre-election polls were well within the margin of errors.

been ignoring the poll numbers have we? All the battleground states are states that usually go republican. Things dont look good for McCain

[bits010101]

another thing they are not taking into account here is that many black people don't consider him Black or Black enough. The fact that he's biracial yet he's more Afrocentric is what repulses me about him. The white man didn't invent slavery yet it's been the white mans yoke through recent history. He won't get my vote because his voting and policy making are too lenient on urban crime(soft on crime). And way too flexible on his views(easily swayed/influenced)

I guess people have forgotten about the level of racism that was projected during the Primary campaign. Well, just a little reminder here, OBAMA WON.

If Conservatives fall for the old "Bradley affect" line, McCain will be sure to lose. I am 100% sure that race matters, and I am also 150% that it will not cost Obama the election. If Conservatives conclude that Obama will lose the General election because of race and not come out in full force, OBAMA WINS again.
