4. It's been like that for at least 3 days
I still feel that they are trying to provide "cover" for a possible stolen election.

5. CNN is obsessed with Obama's race. They need to STOP.
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 01:38 PM by Arrowhead2k1
I never even considered Obama because of his race. The last thing on my mind is getting the first black president in office. Obama simply is the best PERSON for the job, he needs to win this simply because he is the best PERSON.

6. Considering all the racist BS that is out and proud at McCain rallies, FR, etc.
I have a hard time believing in this so-called Bradley effect. The ones not voting based on race are FLAUNTING it, not hiding it.

7. Ask them to cover the Republican Desertion Effect.
Whereby millions of former Republicans realize their party was hijacked by the Trickle Down Crooks in the 80's and is crashing and burning today due to those cruel Republican policies,
and decide to vote Obama without telling any of their family and friends.

9. I wrote CNN about this last night...apparently they don't care or they don't "get it"...
I don't watch CNN now. Their loss.

10. This will backfire. People don't like to be accused of racism.
I can't imagine anything more insulting than to be told that I'm probably lying to pollsters because I'm white, and that when I'm alone in the voting booth I'll vote against Obama because he is black.

A LOT of people will be very insulted by the very idea.

11. you are right... racism is a loaded word and people don't want to be labeled with they are not
We need to call all of these dumb pundits on it. Write CNN and MSNBC and all the other error prone journalists out there.

13. I feel that it is helping Obama to have these idiot talking heads turning off even more Rethugs.
Why interfere? By the time McFail's campaign is over he'll be polling in negative numbers.
