If you read Marx, there's no way you could say that without knowingly making a joke.

So, I'll provide cover and pretend that you did.

But if indeed you are serious. The only thing can say is, read Marx.

I'm not bragging,just stating the fact.Throwing your vote in the primary elections has been the way of the world for a very long time.

Guess that depends on which world you choose to live in.

Democrats did this to Romney by voting for McCain they ensured that Romney lost.
So don't get all high and mighty. dirty tricks are played by both sides.

Mostly for the fun of it.They put so much stock in these stupid polls.I like to throw a wrench in the works.This happens quite a bit in exit polls too.It's supposed to be a secret ballot so why tell them the truth?

I never said anything about that. Actually, I admonish anyone from any side who intentionally throws their vote to hurt the other party. It's dirty, cheap, and should be illegal.

Also, much of the commotion in the conservative party was caused by Rush Limbaugh when he staged a coup and asked his listeners to help.

I don't remember that. I remember watching and Kerry was pretty much down the whole time... but I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

Also known as the "Reverse Bradley Effect". As most things do, it works both ways.

Normally, I would say yes, it would be reasonable to expect the opposite to be true, and indeed, it probably is. But in this case, given that they vote overwhelmingly for Democrats in every election, its predictable and a 'reverse' Bradley Effect can be accounted for and eliminated. If 20%+ were claiming to be voting for McCain, it would be a very strong indicator that something was wrong. You might even be able to cut that percentage in half this year.

I won't quote you, only so that you have an opportunity to erase your remarks and not be viewed as a complete bigot.

First of all, there are plenty of blacks who are republican. To think it's not possible that they exist is stupid. And to think they don't face the same pressures as whites do is also stupid.

Second, it's obvious how you view blacks. It sickens me.

Third, not only do some blacks face the same social pressure as whites when polled, blacks are often under-polled. 1

So, I suggest you rethink your position, and at least, if you aren't going to widen your narrow view of the world, at least edit it and pretend like you aren't a bigot.

That is the Bradley Effect. The reverse Bradley Effect would be under-polling of blacks or, quite simply, the exact opposite of the Bradley Effect.
