I believe the Bradley eect is dead and it’s just something we tell ourselves to keep our spirits up.
If you have some info to the contrary I’d love to see it.
This election will swing on turnout. The dems were +7 in 2008. No way that happens again. At most it’ll be dems +3.
“I believe the Bradley eect is dead and it’s just something we tell ourselves to keep our spirits up.”
Exactly. It was a one-time phenomenon.
Just four short years ago, this place was jam-packed with posters braying that "The Bradley Effect" wasn't being properly taken into account, re: McCain's increasingly dire polling numbers versus The One, and that the old man would therefore end up winning the whole thing in a walk. (One such poster repeatedly insisted that "a 47-state sweep" was the absolute barest minimum we could expect, thanks to -- you guessed it -- said "Bradley Effect.")
Uh-huh.
