Political Quote Of The Day

Tags: , , ,

“I don’t go with this Bradley Effect.That was what, 1984? That’s last century. America’s made a seismic shift as far as race goes. These young white kids who grew up listening to Hip Hop don’t have the same views that their parents and grandparents had. I think these polls aren’t reaching these young white kids. There aren’t enough African Americans in this country to get Obama elected. He took the Iowa caucus!”

- Spike Lee to MSNBC

Yeah, but I am a little unconvinced that a lot of people who say they will vote for Obama actually will.

I agree with Spike. I’m tired of hearing about the so-called “Bradley Effect”. That was over 20 years ago. The country has come a long way since then. Barack Obama would never be the Democratic presidential nominee if that “effect” was still alive and well today.

It is OK for today’s Source?
