Sebelius Revives Fears of ‘Bradley Effect’ With Race Comment

(Fox News) - Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has revived Democratic fears of a “Bradley effect” by suggesting that some Americans who claim to support Barack Obama will end up voting against him because he is black.

While campaigning for Obama in Iowa Tuesday, Sebelius was asked why the election is so close.

“Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?” the Democrat said. “That may be a factor. All the code language, all that doesn’t show up in the polls. And that may be a factor for some people.”

Kathleen, It likely has more to do with his socialist political leanings than his race. Howard Dean may think Americans are ALL stupid and he and Nancy and the Washingtonians need to "save us", but the common American really doesn't care for socialism.
