[quote:Anonymous Coward 26862796:MV8yMDM4NDQ0XzM0MjcxNjc4X0Q5MkQ1QzA3] [quote:CrazyEyesThreadKilla:MV8yMDM4NDQ0XzM0MjcxNTQ3XzYwRjlBQzBD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1207399:MV8yMDM4NDQ0XzM0MjcxNDAwXzlCMzM5NjlD] This election is unprecedented. Obama is the first black President. He along with the Democrats have played the race card over and over. It has become racist to say you are voting for the white guy whatever your reasons. Therefore .. his method is fucked. [/quote] This. If the caller is black, which is often discernible by voice or diction, some respondents will hesitate to declare their dislike for Obama for fear of being perceived as racist. This could also be true if the caller is white, but the pattern will be most significant with a black caller. Pundits like Silver fail to understand the extent to which conservatives are consistently made to feel like they are mean/bad/evil by the media, and as a result, even when they are confident in the goodness/justice/truth of their views, they are hesitant to articulate them to strangers. [/quote] Obama was the candidate in 2008 and this rule you propose didn't seem to apply when this dude predicted correctly 49 out of 50 state electoral results (he missed Indiana which actually went to Obama by less than 1%).

Even if Nate were off by 30%! It's over, seriously over.
