Because Obama is black, will the "Bradley effect" ensure a McCain win in November?

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect

Answer 1

I am afraid that is wishful thinking on your part.

No "effect" will make McCain come close to winning in November.

McCain is Bush...that's all anyone needs to know.

Answer 2

more like the brain effect

have brain

use it

make correct decision

obama a light weight in an empty suit

bingo

Answer 3

Obama will be elected hands down simply because he is the best Candidate with some hope for a new future instead of those red faced fat boys in office now. We don't need another 4 years of that. God help us if he is killed before he can bring this country out of the doldrums.

Answer 4

No, his saying of nothing will ensure a McCain win in November. That and the fact that anyone that actually works knows they'll get taxed into bankruptcy to pay Obama's lazy friends.

Answer 5

*sigh* yet another pathetic attempt by an Obama supporter to claim anyone who doesnt support Obama is a racist. Stop trying to hide behind the fact he's black. Heres a fun fact for you, if Obama were white Hilary would have gotten the nomination and Obama wouldnt have lasted a month in the race for Democratic nominee. He gets votes purely because of the fact he IS black.  

Answer 6

Allah does not see race-only learning and teaching and works.  Noble Barack has learned and lives the holy Quaran.  Noble Barack will bring peace.

Answer 7

We've come a long way since Bradley.  

Answer 8

Excuse me mister Con

O'bama is Hawaiian that makes him a Pacific Islander not Black

Answer 9

It depends on how pervasive racism still is in The USA.

Answer 10

You mean 'closet racists' . We all know who they are -  43% of population that vote for McCain.  

Answer 11

Don't know if it will ensure McCain a win in November, but it's one of the reasons I don't pay attention to any of the polls.

Answer 12

it probably would , but the problem for Republicans is that McCain is a very poor candidate.

Answer 13

That is one of a number of factors.  He will suffer from those Hillary supporters that will not switch to him.  Nader will paint him as GOP lite and take votes.  Cynthia McKinney being the African American female on the Green ticket will attract votes of those who consider him a poser.  Bob Barr will act as an extra GOP candidate and hammer him while likely giving McCain a pass.  All in all, he simply has too many things against him.

Answer 14

It will have a small affect...which could be enough given how close the elction will be.

Answer 15

I suppose that's McCain's only chance...

Answer 16

Mostly the Bradley effect is apparent in large Urban Liberal areas.  It will only mean the difference between, say 70% and 60% in San Francisco or Boston.  So, in reality it will have little effect on the Electoral Outcome.

As far as polls, any serious pollster is compensating for the historic "over-polling" of Black candidates, so they are probably still pretty accurate.

Answer 17

Do you really want Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Reid in charge of America?
