Obama supporters fear race may bring candidate down - By Matthew Bigg

ATLANTA (Reuters) - For supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama it is a nightmare scenario -- his apparent lead in the battle for the White House suddenly evaporates on Election Day. The cause? Race.

As Republican rival John McCain celebrates victory, it emerges that a small but decisive percentage of white voters who had declared to opinion pollsters they supported Obama actually chose differently in the privacy of the ballot booth.

With opinion surveys making Obama the favorite over McCain less than three weeks before the November 4 election, attention has turned to the question of how many white Americans might be lying to pollsters about their willingness to vote for a black president.

*The drivebys are having an anxiety attack. All the extensive time and effort they have devoted to electing Obama is thwarted on election day by the 'Bradley effect' as racism rears its ugly head in the privacy of the voting booth. Tsk. Bless their little ol' pea pickin' hearts. Worry, worry, worry. Sigh."They will say in a poll, or say on the porch, 'I'll vote for Obama.' But I question how many will stick with a person of color when they pull that (voting booth) curtain," said Estep. Hey fella, come ask me. I'll tell you straight out I'm not gonna vote for him.

The polls are skewed and the Obama camp knows it. They need ACORN to cause "CHAOS".

It ain't over till it is over!!

*The drivebys are having an anxiety attack. has everything they've driven by thinking its someone elses problem, is slapping them up Right side the head. How in the world can they trust everyone, who says they will vote for obama, will, when they, themselves, have never given up the benefit discrimination brings to them. Far, and wide, of the legislation they wear on their sleeves, is of selection, or in other words, discrimination. They select, discriminate, to use it has a resource of support, and support of their resources. I'd be having a panic attack too, if having placed my future in speculating I could write laws to direct human passion.

That's why they mention something about "racists" every single day - to INTIMIDATE folks so they will vote for Obama to prove they aren't racist.

Well, I still think that they are depending on all blacks to vote based on race and I think they are wrong. There are a lot of blacks who are not comfortable with Obama on the issue of abortion and there are a lot of them who recognize that he is going to cost them money! The Dems assume that all blacks are alike. Now, how racist is THAT?
