We are five days away from the election of 2012. The polls are telling us that the winner will be decide by the thinnest of margins, possibly as little as one per cent in some battleground states. The Republicans are maintaining that most of the pollsters have skewed their results in favor of the Democrats. This may be true but something else may be at play in this election.
Voters may not be totally honest when the pollsters ask about their intentions. The Obama administration has played the race card at the drop of a hat. It may be preferable for some voters to hide their negativity until election day for fear of the racist label. Disappointed Democrats, that is economically challenged and disappointed Democrats, may abandon their party in the privacy of the voting booth. There they can be honest without the fear of a racial slur.
