Play from 0:10[0:10]" I think that regardless plot holes you showed there will be at number of people who say they'll vote for Barack Obama but will go in and basically vote for John McCain because we're racist tendency. What do you think that is. I think that there's just a piece of American culture that we have -- pan am hopeful that in 1982. We of course but that the tree was going to be realized in 2008 -- these pictures later hopefully we will have taken a step in the right direction but it's just a part of the American culture that I think we still arguing. Maybe maybe Tuesday will be a new chapter."

Play from 0:48[0:48]" Took about how -- the role the media plays in this playing up the race factor."

Play from 0:53[0:53]" Well one of the problem that we had 1982. Was that we had people. Taking the Bradley was going to win by a significant margin almost double digits and it's very similar to Barack Obama and 2008. And that people so well no one really is focusing on immediate and kept talking about. Would grace be an issue. We've Anderson Cooper talking about how difficult it was to think that people would talk about race the other night the -- he was again accentuating the very issue he said shouldn't be an issue. So a lot of short of it is up and I'm that we need immediate talking about an issue which raises its relevance among voters. -- the last thing the Obama people would like for people -- be discussing would be -- for the election. Greg anything else you want to. I think so what think it is that that possibly could overtake. The number of people who will demonstrate Bradley effect does exist will be the number of young voters and unprecedented. Number. Of ethnic voters around the country that are -- side do you think it's about Obama campaign is trying to compensate for a fact of what the American culture. -- on Election Day and that is the -- Bradley effect but maybe this time we're going to see it compensated for register record numbers of voters voted for Barack Obama.
