Urban legend?

(BUMPED -- UPDATED BELOW.) This is likely to be one of the most famous quotes of the 2008 campaign, and is told by liberal pro-Obama blogger Sean Quinn, so don't blame me:

So a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the n***er!"Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."

The mere fact that this story is being told by a liberal leads me to believe it's bogus. If a liberal tells me it's warm and sunny outside, I put on a coat and pick up my umbrella before going out.

UPDATE: The Politico's Ben Smith finds evidence that Bush fatigue and GOP "brand damage" may be so severe as to negate the so-called Bradley Effect:

Anecdotes from across the battlegrounds suggest that there's a significant minority of prejudiced white voters who will swallow hard and vote for the black man. "I wouldn't want a mixed marriage for my daughter, but I'm voting for Obama," the wife of a retired Virginia coal miner, Sharon Fleming, told the Los Angeles Times recently. One Obama volunteer told Politico after canvassing the working-class white Philadelphia neighborhood of Fishtown recently, "I was blown away by the outright racism, but these folks are … undecided. They would call him a [racial epithet] and mention how they don't know what to do because of the economy."

Meanwhile, despite the evidence that racism won't prevent Obama's election, a liberal blogger is still doing the Captain Ahab trip:

The raw racism on display this election season is probably more educational for whites than for blacks, who have had a more accurate picture of reality all along. But, either way, it's deeply painful to see these suspicions confirmed in such a brazen way. It's not so much that racist attitudes are being confirmed. It's that so many people live in microcultures where racism is so accepted that they openly profess their racism to Obama canvassers, reporters, and other perfect strangers. It's the lack of shame that I find most disturbing.
And it hurts me to know that black people all over the country are being traumatized by these hate-filled expressions of intolerance. It doesn't help a bit that a racist is going to vote for Obama. That can't take the sting out of their statements.

Thar she blows! The Evil White Racist!

Jammie Wearing Fool is not intimidated:

Naturally, it's fine if 105% of blacks (with ACORN's help, naturally) vote for Obama. We can't call that racist, because we'd be racist for pointing that out.

It's also racist to notice that liberals aren't worried about "hate-filled expressions of intolerance" against Allen West. Or against Michelle Malkin. According to liberals, all racists are not created equal.
