There are reasons to hope this year, but the fantasy of a “Bradley Effect” isn`t one of them. Remember in 2008, right here on FR, when so many were confident the factoring in of the “Bradley Effect” would deliver a win for McCain?

The “Bradley Effect” is a mirage.

The “Bradley Effect” is a mirage.

It's a sublte play of the race card to explain why a black candidate lost.

Well, except for the absolute fact that 4 years of Obama has totally cured ‘white guilt’!

Yep, right up until election day '08 there was no shortage of Freepers who claimed the polls were full of it and that the Bradley effect (and the "PUMAS" - remember that extinct species?) were going to give the election to the admiral's widdle kid.

Final score: Pollsters 1 - Deluded Freepers, 0.
