1. And after that whole article, this in the end
"In the past 15 years or so, there's been no indication in the polls that the Bradley effect has been a factor in statewide races."

No shit assholes.

2. this is nothing more than...
Edited on Tue Oct-14-08 12:17 AM by TwoSparkles
...a false narrative for justifying and explaining away a election will be
stolen.

Just like 2006--they won't be able to overcome the extraordinary
numbers of Democratic voters.

3. No shit -- and, before that...
...their lead story was on the difficulties of "selling" a black candidate to white voters.

Are they going to change their acronym to BFN or something? Because it seems to me the meme they're spreading is "Don't be fooled by the polls -- Obama's going to lose because of the race vote. So, it's O.K. for you to discriminate against him, too."

:argh:

5. It's been a week since I watched CNN for more than 15 minutes
Every time I tuned it, it was the same story.

I wonder how Harold Ford Jr did in that southern state? polls vs results. A) He did better in the results than polls on Nov 4th

4. CNN has been pounding race, race, race. I posted about this in another thread.
Someone at CNN is directing this just as Roger Ailes sends down the themes at Fox.

With everything going on right now, this has been CNN's obsession. It stinks.

8. Like it or not, Race is the subtext of the McCain smear ADS. Can't be avoided

I don't know what you are saying: it can't be avoided.

6. That, Acorn and Ayers.
Lou Dobbs was all about Acorn yesterday. They are setting the stage for a massive voter suppression effort.

7. Dobbs doesn't want Obama to win, otherwise it will ruin all his arguments.
He wants to keep immigrants and minorities out of the country.

Barack getting in the WH kind of hurts him because people will just tell him, "Uhh.... who's the President?"
