When I hear people mention the Bradley effect, I can't help but to think of Eddie Murphy. Back in the eighties, he got huge laughs when his act turned to the white guy who gets drunk, votes for Jessee Jackson, and the next morning's hangover echoes "I can't believe I voted for a negro."
That's funny, yeah, but the United States is a different place now, and when voters say they believe in the change that Barack Obama stands for, I seriously doubt that they're going to change their minds when the ballot stares them in the face. I know a lot of people who won't vote for Barack, so they're voting against him. Not for John McCain, and certainly not for Miss Palin (regardless of how some may insist uopn her qualifications. . . how much salt can a person take?).
Six months ago, I told my father, a staunch Republican, that no party wins an election based on campaigning against the opposition rather than for their own candidate. Many would argue that, but if you really want to win someone's vote, you must win the hearts and minds first.
You bet I endorse Obama Biden, and you know what? I'm going to vote for them, too!
Each and every day, we are presented with an opportunity to become a better person by making good, wise decisions. This is the pathway to wisdom. There is a reward to be claimed by those who choose wisely. As fast as life can seem, it's always the same old planet revolving around the same old sun... Let's all try to be just a little bit better today; let's not wait until tomorrow.
