Maybe he knows the same thing that McCain knows and we dont.

I guess to some degree you agree although maybe not enough for it to make a difference in the final outcome?

General idea is that the new Bradley effect is that “undecided” is the way in which voters refusing to vote for the black candidate avoid looking racist. Looking at last-minute polls and final election results of 6 congressional in 2006 showed that 80%+ of undecides actually break for white candidate.

And given the number of undecideds in battleground states, this could easily lose the electoral college…

Hype or legit idea?
