Bradley Effect will be neutralized by Sarah Effect
Yes, there is a Bradley effect in play ,why deny it? However, when a certain percent of the population is in the voting booth they will see the Obama/Biden lever and may gravitate to the McCain/Palin lever..but...as shown by several polls, about 50% of the population believe that John McCain will die in office and then we would have a President Palin. America has rejected Palin decisively and the prospect of having a President Palin sends a chill down the collective spine of America (are you listening Cindy?) So, the Bradley effect voters, with a picture of President Palin in their minds, will gravitate back to the Obama/BIDEN lever and will vote for the Democratic ticket for President.

2. The "Bradley Effect" is Really the "Diebold Effect"
Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 12:39 PM by AndyTiedye
When they say to expect a "Bradley Effect" of 6% in McCain's favor what they really mean
is that the voting machines are programmed to switch 6% of the vote to McCain.

3. LOL!! Andrea Mitchell said that the NYT Poll says that Sarah Palin
has been a NEGATIVE drag on the McCain ticket.

4. All of this will be wiped out by the "Obama Effect".
They will secretly vote Obama but not let their rethug buddies know.

to him: "Hey barack, I will vote for you" and Barack whispering back said: "Thank you" LOL!!

6. why deny it? it's not there. read the studies and analysis
sure, there are some racists out there but this idea of a significant portion saying "yes" in polls but saying "no" at the voting booth... is a myth.

7. this should really be called the Deukmajian effect
if people knew what a mob related, total thug that guy was... they'd be questioning the integrity of that election, way back when...

and not so quickly ascribing it to race

I think the Bradley effect is almost urban legend... a media myth
