Yes, but I'm more concerned about the "hanging chad" effect.
-
Yes I am. Peopel keep talking about it more and more and now I think it may happen. Obama is ahead and it looks he may win. Some of the white voters may get cold feet and vote for Mccain instead as election day gets closer and closer.

No, I dont think it will be that big of a problem, both polling techniques and attitudes toward race have evolved since it was first studied. I think that many people are going to vote this year, they are predicting 80% turnout, the American public, has gotten really interested in this election and has taken the time to educate their selves about their candidates, and what matters most to them.

Obama is facing a close election and when it's close any effect will be multiplied! He is also going to have to face the loss of illegal votes from Acorn, the rebound effect from all of the Hillary supporters,and the fact that most younger voters don't actually go and vote! Add the fact that most voters are seniors and most seniors will vote for McCain! Finally the undecided and independents are more likely to vote for McCain! When you add all of the above together you find Obama the loser on Jan 20, 2009!

Color has nothing to do with this race (as far as I'm concerned) I vote on their policies, ideas and what direction they want this country to go! Even party lines don't affect my decision on whom to vote. I do consider the VP choice also. VOTE OBAMA!

No. Tom Bradley was local to California. There was no groundswell of new voters..there was no $150million month of September in fundraising, not to mention all the prior months of breaking records. All we are talking about here is skin color. Now really. Do you honestly believe that someone could be a candidate for President of the United States if people gave a dam* about skin color? We've come a long way baby. Those who won't vote for Obama because of skin color have souls/spirits/minds/hearts that are stuck in the 50's. They have not evolved. They live there and they will die there. I don't see it as a problem at all. Happy Sunday, mistje! :) ((hugs))

Not at all, It tend to ignore the "fear factor" issue/non-issues, and concentrate on facts.
-
no, im not one to put much stock into fear. i put my stock into optimism. i dont believe history always repeats itself. and the countrys political climate, the potential voter turnout, and racial attitudes have changed significantly since the bradley incident. its a completely different race. but i wonder about the diebold effect... lol!
