Do you guys beleive in the Bradley effect
Chaim Ben Pesach:
The Bradley effect is when white voters do not admit that they are going to vote against a black candidate. These white voters are afraid that they will be accused of racism. But on election day, they do vote against the black candidate despite what they tell the pollsters. As a result, black candidates appear stronger in the polls than they really are.
I believe that the Bradley effect does exist and probably artificially boosts Barack Hussein Osama in the polls by 4-5%.
However, this year there is something that counters the Bradley effect. Here's how pollsters work: if 10% of all voters in the last presidential election were black, then pollsters will make sure that 10% of their polling samples are black. And that is what they are doing this year. The only problem is the actual number of blacks who will vote this year is almost certainly going to be much higher, perhaps 15% of the total. When you have a black candidate, blacks vote in much higher numbers. This year there is more excitement among blacks than ever before. So pollsters are undercounting the black vote.
In the end, I think the election will be close.

I'm counting on the people who are afraid to appear politically incorrect when polled. ;D

So, the swing vote is the "Chicken [deleted] Cowards.

I would bet that the so-called undecided vote will largely go for Mccain.
How can anyone be undecided at this point ....
They are either idiots or lying.

Just because they hide their views doesn't necessarily make them cowards. It could make them smart in wanting to keep their jobs. Some people, like college instructors for example, can't afford to let anyone know they're not in love with multiculturalism.
