Obama gap?

Tuesday January 8, 2008

Categories: Politics

The early, early returns show that Clinton is leading Obama. Based on all of the polls showing him ahead and the excitement of the turnout, I'm a little surprised. Again, it is very, very early. Here is my question - will this be the first time that race has shown up?

Did people in New Hampshire say they were going to vote for Obama because they didn't want pollsters to think they were racist?

I'm guessing not - guessing that the early returns are anomalous... worth keeping an eye on, however.

The Bradley effect? I hope not. I also hope that this contest won't be a constant cycle of race and gender based explanations for who won and who lost.
