The question was were those people lying and saying that they were voting for Obama. There's no evidence to support that, especially if all these die-hard Democrats screaming for McCain signs stories you said were real. Such a person isn't going to lie to pollsters. I also have yet to hear an actual explanation as to why the Bradley Effect didn't appear in the primaries.

Why wouldn't those people lie to pollsters? And, yes, I have explained why the Bradley Effect wasn't really present in the primaries. You just love rehashing old arguments and I don't have time for you sad amusement.

Well, I think there's two coherent arguments for why this might be true.

1- People who are prone to lying to pollsters because of fear of appearing racist could decide to simply stay home rather than make the decision actually I give up on this post it doesn't make sense

So you put up a McCain sign but lie to pollsters to say you're voting for Obama. OK makes perfect sense.

And, yes, I have explained why the Bradley Effect wasn't really present in the primaries. You just love rehashing old arguments and I don't have time for you sad amusement.

No you haven't really other than "The Democratic primary includes just Democrats" which hardly makes any sense considering the people supposedly so susceptible too were Hillary voters in the primary.

It appears I've had a pretty innocuous post deleted. Huh.
