THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BRADLEY EFFECT

November 4, 2008

The fact that people - pundits, surrogates, former politicians - keep mentioning it shows how non-informed the media actually is and how much they want to use race to drive the election. Blackness as a hindrance, blackness as a strategy overlooked and blackness as a triumph of America. Joe actually said that if barry wins America is not a racist nation. That is about as idiotic as it gets. And barry's impact on American political campaigns will be massively overexaggerated - as it already is. Things came into play in this election that never were represented before. Things that would have caused a record turnout, which was already in evidence turning the primaries.

HILLARY CLINTON GOT THE SAME AMOUNT OF VOTES AS BARRY.

He was not the sole reason for anything in the primaries and in the general democrats had only one choice. Turnout I argue would have been massive - the black vote in question - which will decide this election. 95% of the black vote against a white woman is not considered racist and yet white blue collar worker is. A joke. An embarrassing joke that people wither don't care about or don't realize. It doesn't matter

1 - president with the lowest approval rating ever
2 - change no matter what
2 - two wars neither of which is popular
3 - the economy is in the worst shape since the depression
4 - America's standing in the world is in the tank
5 - no jobs, no homes, no healthcare, no gas money
6 - Anger at Republicans and general pessimism
7 - 72 y/o Republican nominee
8 - 44 y/o VP nominee who let's face it is not fit for the job
9 - barry never vetted - opponents vetted to death and falsehoods aired with no retractions.
11 - barry's myth on Iraq - it's what got him out of Iowa and held him until the economy became number one. By then the lie had him in the position of inevitability.
12 - DNC behind him and against Clintons.
13 - Illegitimate dealings about Michigan delegates. Imagine this happening to barry leading to Clinton's nomination. There'd be a very different atmosphere and a different nature of "historic".
11 - Female candidate
12 - black candidate
13- Sexism and ageism laughed at and racism used as primary barry strategy and found in any and all possible comments and actions.
12 - barry lied about public finance allowing him to destroy McCain in ads and ground game. This is what won the general election. It is the biggest lie that barry has gotten away with.
13 - PROOBAMA MEDIA BIAS

I say this last (which means the major impact) because they worked to destroy Sen (and Pres) Clinton and kept the racist myth alive, which worked to get out the black vote, without which barry would not have gotten the nomination. This is undeniable and irrefutable, whether you choose to believe it or not. The irony in all this racist WHITE AMERICA is that barry's win hinges on the nonwhite turnout.

Any yet - it will be barry - alone - that gets credit for the turnout and win. It is more wrong than the racial bias the media has shown TOWARDS AS IN IN FAVOR OF barry. Hillary's people trashed - Hillary's people on the ground in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania will not get the credit they deserve.

Colorblindness? Race as a hindrance? Sexism is a myth. Ageism is a joke. Barry will have won this because of his race - the half that he claims. And fatherless children in the black community? What does his success say to them - directly?
