Rick, do you have an alternative link? The hulu clip won't display outside of the US.
10/31/2008 9:38 AMHey Lars - unfortunately, no. Summarizing the clip: Jon Stewart points out that the Bradley Effect, widely believed to indicate that white people will tell pollsters they're willing to vote for a black man due to social pressure, but in fact will vote for a white candidate. And Stewart asks Barack: "Are you worried, given that your mother was white, that the white half of you will take over and vote for McCain?"
Barack acknowledges it's a problem, and that he's been in therapy about it. :)
A classic. Managed to find an alternative source at http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=189761.

Looking forward to change.
