Election '08's Swing Voters


Are Clinton supporters racist liars?  Or just poor, uneducated, racist sneaks?  Pollsters want to know.

In trying to explain why pollsters were so off in their predictions for New Hampshire, Chris Wilson at Slate says it could be that "voters contacted by pollsters are more likely to say they support a black candidate running against a white candidate out of desire to seem progressive."

Andrew Kohut of the Pew Research Center says it's more likely that Hillary's ignorant, uneducated, white trash supporters just flat-out refused to talk to pollsters. (he says poor white voters tend to shy away from them, for some reason.)

Either explanation should give campaigners pause.  We may have found '08's Nascar Dads and Soccer Moms.
