Comments on The Reverse Bradley Effect

Josh, I did not know you were black. Of course you must be to have some sort of inside track on how we vote, no?

Ginger @1,
Yeah, me and Lou Reed. Like, totally black.

At least you said "blacks".

Josh is right on this. The NYT piece is just about where the "leaders" are on this, and they ( the leaders) never really have delivered any votes. This piece is just typical journalists looking for a "story". The black public will go with senator Obama. Where Obama is going to have trouble is with the Latino vote which tends to be older, centrist Latinos, if he does win the nominationhe can fix this if he chooses Richardson as his running mate in the general election.

my understanding is that he won a big chunk of the Latino vote from Chicago. He should get a lot of those progressive Latinos from Illi to go out for him.

There is no auto black for black vote. Please....just as there is no auto woman for woman vote. Who can be a woman's greatest critic? The same is true of blacks. I think the split in this case is valid. I do believe that evangelical will almost always vote like kind. Peace.

Meanwhile, white men like Josh Feit will vote for Mitt Romney.

@1:

1. Male writers talk about female voters.
2. Female writers talk about male voters.
3. Southern writers talk about Northern voters.
4. PNW writers talk about SC voters.
5. Black writers talk about white voters.
6. White writers talk about black voters.
7. Pro tax cut writers talk about anti tax cut voters.
8. Anti tax cut writers talk about pro tax cut voters.

So....is just #5 an issue -- whites can't talk about blacks ?
Or is the rule that no one can talk about anyone else who is of a different race or gender or belief (##1-8)?

Sounds more like Josh is trying to cover his pro-HRC ass in case the state goes for Obama. Remember what happened in New Hampshire? The polls looked like an Obama slam dunk but it didn't go that way. One popular explanation was the way NH voters responded to pollsters versus they way they actually voted. He's just getting ahead of the curve here.

@5
I dont think is automatic either. What people fail to point out is that Obama EARNED IT, despite what the black "leadership" says.

For the record, Im still for that soon to be declared loser Edwards.

The real question is whether Obama will be able to get new voters to the polls. If he can bring in a significant number of historical non-voters the Democrats might be able to take back some southern states.

You know, the odd thing about the press is that any asshole with an opinion can spout off any inane bullshit they want to (like this post), and we're supposed to genuflect before their great wisdom. Josh doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about, and neither do the "experts."

Josh, you're being an asshat again!

"Josh doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about, and neither do the "experts." "

Yeah, but at least the NYT is talking to black leaders. The only black person Josh talks to is Mudede.

Josh, normally I got your back. Even if I disagree with you, at least you usually have some valid backing or research for your assertions.

But this statement is pure unadulterated speculation. On what basis do you make this assertion, this "Fact", that blacks will overwhelmingly vote for Obama?

You may be right. You may be wrong. But if you're going to pretend to be a reporter, I'd like to see some data that at least vaguely supports this assertion. Otherwise you're just pissing in the wind.

fascinating.

Josh says: Blacks will vote for Obama.

No one actually disagrees with that observation -- But what a shitstorm for his temerity in saying it!

Q.E.D.!

@15... you are completely wrong.

out of 15, only 2 or 3 even didn't agree with his temerity in saying it.

every other comment either agrees with josh, or disagrees with his logic, not with him making what you consider a bold statement.

Is it National Brotherhood Week already?

Ssshhh. Don't wake the MSM. They have to pretend Sen Clinton is black.

black people may vote in overwhelming numbers for Obama, but will those votes count? I read the other day that South Carolina has ok'd the use of touch screen voting machines-the sure fire method of electing republican, or democrats that stand the best chance of losing to republicans.
