What actual results? The general election and the primary could not be more different. He has to convince real thinking Americans in November, nit just gullable Democrats!

the Bradley Effect is a perfect example of what will happen to Obama come election day, if he is still in the race of course...

Some of course will change their minds. They will on both sides. Some republicans may begin to think about negatives that they precieve in McCain. Obama will not lose that much to put him in the lose colomn in my opinion. His polling is very strong currently.

First I thought you put me on ignore. Was that another lie? Next, I never said it was racist to not vote for Obama. We were talking SPECIFICALLY about those who would not vote for Obama SIMPLY because he was black. You come waltzing on into the conversation and haven't even read the OP or any other post in the thread. No one cares about your opinion if you don't even care to keep yourself informed.

i am informed...please enlighten me as to what makes you think i am not? is it b/c i don't like obama that i am not enlightened? is that the reason?

is it b/c i am not an elitist?

obama is a flip-flopper and doesn't deserve to be in the White House. He has done nothing to deserve to be there.

oh, i forgot...other than be black...

Gullible Democrats..? Hm.. I guess the same could be said for the gullible Republicans who voted for McCain (in the primary) and Bush, which has ushered in a shame to the Republican party that will be hard to get rid of. For the record I am a conservative Republican who will not be voting for either Obama or McCain.

You're not informed in regards to this thread. Read EVERYTHING on the first page and then tell me how your responses to me look? If they look fine to you then you need some basic reading comprehension courses.

Not liking Obama does not mean your not informed. I don't like Obama, but I am informed.

Being an elitist doesn't make one any more informed than someone who isn't.

Saying Obama has done nothing to "deserve to be in the White House" besides being born black makes you uninformed. If that was the case we should have already had 15++ black presidents, if all that you need to become president is to be born black.
