You know those voters who say they're for Obama NOW, but on election day,
might get scared and vote for "experience" (or against the "colored fellow")?

I'm less concerned than ever.

And I think there may be MORE folks who SAY they're voting for McCain, but in the booth will vote Obama!

Especially if they watched the Des Moines Register Interview with McCain.

The full interview can be seen here, nearly one hour: INTERVIEW

(You must select "full interview" or any of the shorter clips)

1. Actually I think there are a lot of people who have been
secretly for Obama, being impressed by his intelligence, poise, presence, all the good stuff, but these people have been hesitant to speak out until now.

2. In some circles, it's "cool" to be racist or to rag on Obama....
But when it comes down to voting your interests, you're going to cover your ass, not support the crazy white guy with seven houses.

3. What happens behind that curtain is the moment of truth.
The secret ballot, your private vote, is between you and your conscience. I hope you are right.

4. Kohut of Pew explains the "Bradley Effect" best, IMHO
