1. All the SUSA polls do freaky things with the AA vote. n/t

3. It's tough to say. Alabama exists on the other side of an Iron Curtain--or maybe a time-warp
You can't begin to imagine the stuff they're telling people down there. Obama is the seventh son descended from the seventh son of the Ummayyad Caliph of Tunis. He's secretly a member of the Nation of Islam, or worse he's a Muslin. Obama is the Antichrist.
People cut off from the world by a hostile elite and fed lies are easy to mislead.

16. Might also be a tinge of class envy as well

Rural blacks may exhibit resistance if they view Obama as a slick, "bourgeois" brother. Simliar to the reasons why John Kerry was rejected by some of the Appalachia folks in Ohio.

6. For some peculiar reason, I'm just getting a white screen.
AA = Alcoholics Anonymous?

7. Bush only won 6% of the AA vote in Alabama in 2004.

10. SUSA


always downplays Obama's support. That's why cross tabs are so important.

11. Just my personal experience.....
I have spoken to dozens and dozens of AA's about BO in the past 6 weeks and every last one of them....and I mean every last one of them is chomping at the bit to vote for BO. They are encouraged and excited about this opportunity for our country. These are from chance meetings at gas pumps, restaurants, red lights....you name it. Whenever I get the chance, I bring up the election. Its exhilarating to see the happiness and sometimes surprise on their faces when they find out they are talking to a mid 50s white man who is so energetically supporting BO.

12. subsets of poll have higher margin of error than poll as a whole
6% AA to McCain is more likely. Whether it is poll margin of error or problems with the polling I won't speculate :)

18. What the hell are AAs? Honestly, I wish people would stop using
all these acronyms and just write shit out like people writing should. We can't all be in all the secret societies.

AAs, anyone? Anyone?
