I can see it having an effect in New Hampshire where the population is only one percent black, or ted's state of Washington where he only has to ignore three percent according to the weather reports from there.

The city I live and work is 40% black, we've been living, going to school together, proud of our sports icons of every color, working, and dying together as neighbors for a long time, there is no Bradley effect here, we're all Americans. On a percentage basis, we accepted more Katrina evacuees than Texas, who took in the most.

Seems to be a liberal blue state problem, wonder why that is hmmm?

Looks like Andrew Sullivan has brought up something we've been talking about here at the Agonist for a while: the prospensity of folks to lie to pollsters about voting for a black person, because they feel a bit ashamed of their racism, then going out and not voting for them.

At this point if it takes a racist electorate to stop the destruction of our democracy, then so be it.
