Mike Easley (D), governor of NC, is talking about REVERSE BRADLEY EFFECT

On Rachel Maddow. Fascinating. He said his barber told him this theory, "while he had a razor to my throat, so I believe him." Love this guy! Just thought you should all know since many of you have been talking about it.

1. I heard the NC Governor speak, and.....
I recently experienced something that would lend credence to the theory. I recently took a bus tour trip, and I wore my Obama button prominently. I had 3 people (white) on the bus quietly approach and tell me they were amazed that I had the "guts" to proclaim my support for Obama - that they were going to vote for him, but did not want any of their friends or neighbors to know it! Sad commentary on America!

4. I was thinking the same thing remember in the primarys Obama did better in some states than the
polls suggested before the states actually voted. His numbers went up in some cases in the white vote that the polls didn't pickup.That's why i don't think this election is going to be close.

2. I subscribe to this.
People really don't give a shit what color Obama is. He is by far the best person for the Presidency right now, and you'd have to be a dumbass freeper to not see it.

I'm south of the triangle and I didn't see one McCain sticker. I did see at least 4 Obama's. In one neighborhood there are many Obama signs and not one McCain. four years ago it was just the opposite.

I've also noticed that there are very few w stickers left. It's like they all been removed or something.

3. speaking based purely on race. I've had African American coworkers express interesting thoughts
when they see "the white boy" with an Obama sticker on his car. I laughed and showed two of them today my white Obama shirt under my uniform.

"Just because I'm white doesnt make me a cracker"
