Good point about the 2006 elelctions. But one thing is crystal clear...the conservative base has not changed. it was the spineless RNC and elected Republicans that dropped to their knees.

Now the base sees Palin and getting excited again. The conservative base has been told by Republican guvs and Republican senators to get over Reagan.

Palin may not be Reagan but she sure is damn close! And in the mean time the conduct of the Monica Lewensky wannabees int he Senate and in Guv mansions is coing under closer scutinty.

Watch how most R senators and govs are reacting.

Uuuuuugh! These KOSers ring the bell for the arrogance test. Of course, their feelings of superiority are a result of narcissist derangement syndrome. There is an element of paranoia driving this syndrome. It is the fear of failure. I think there is an element of reality to this fear of failure: The McCain-Palin element.

Some people make up they’re mind when they enter the voting booth. I think only die-hard democrats and the loony left will vote for tweddle dee and tweedle dummy.

TheWasteLand,

What's, 'The Bradley Effect'?

Thanks

[jerry557]

Bradley effect is lying to a pollster based on race...

You say to a pollster that you are voting for a minority candidate in order to ward off any perception of racism...
But when you actually go and vote (and know the vote is anonymous) you vote your true feelings and vote against the minority candidate.

Some studies show it isnt a major phenomenon but has been found to be statistically significant especially in racially-sensitive locations.

[Neville72]

The Bradley Effect was named after Mayor Tom Bradley who was leading by 5-8% in all the polls in the CA governor’s election but narrowly lost on election day to George Dukmejian(sp).

People will tell pollsters they support the minority candidate because they fear being labeled a racist but once in the privacy of the voting booth vote otherwise.

It’s also been called the “Wilder Effect” after VA governor Doug Wilder who led by 9 or 10% in pre-election polls but eeked a victory by a few thousand votes.

[Dianna]

Just wanted to add, the Bradley Effect showed up a few times in the dem primaries. Polls would show Obama ahead and he’d end up losing.

[AmericaUnited]

The undecided independent women voters decreased this week from 15% to 7%, but those women went to Obama.

ALso known as a group as "catty cats".

[Jim Noble]

No one - NO ONE - who has not decided already to vote for Zerobama will vote for him on election day.

It's over.

[BluH2o]

In a Poll with a 10%+ Democrat polling bias, not including BRADLEY EFFECT.

Obama's internal polls are probably even more distressing ... to the extent BO has been left incoherent.

A poll wonk friend of mine explained what to look for in Gallup and Rasmussen. Yesterday’s (Sat) polls that came out were for Wed-Fri rolling average. Wed’s numbers did not include Palin’s speech or McCain. And Thu did not include McCain’s. So you only had 1/3 of respondents (Friday’s) weighing w/ McCain and Palin in memory.

Once those are dropped from rolling avg we should see McCain ahead. Today’s daily track will include all respondents after Palin’s speech and Monday’s track (Fri-Sun) will include both McCain’s and Palin’s.

Tueday looks to be the day for true nummbers.

If McCain/Palin are up in both Rasmussen and Gallup on Tuesday (with Wilder/Bradley factor not included) he’s toast. He needs to be up 15 to withstand the Reverend Wright bombs you know the 527’s will be launching come October.

Libs delusional:
They think Clinton is black but Clarence Thomas is not
They think Michele Obama is in the style of Jackie O (but have not seen any similarity of Cindy McCain to Lady Di)
They think Barack Obama is good looking
and so on and so on and so on..yes, they are definitely
that delusional

[ODDITHER]

Yes and another 25% call themselves “Progress” because the media villifies Conservatives but when asked specific questions they are conservatives.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

As I recall in 2000 Zogby had Bush close in CA. Bush spent a lot of time here and neglected other places - like Florida.

Bush ended up loosing California by 6 or 7 percentage points. Zogby’s polling came very close to costing GWB the election.

I’d guess this KOS’r is actually a EUROLIB, rather than US resident, though.

One of those numerous, Obama donors from the Gaza Strip...

I believe there will be a later bounce for Palin due to Sunday worship. Many will be hearing from their friends and wanting to confirm their feelings about Palin before settling in with a choice. It will be the first time Christians have to talk to one another about her.

[Friendofgeorge]

Zogby claims to be most accurate over last 3 presidential elections? What he is famous for is around 7 pm of the election, he posts/adjusts his last poll results, making him appear to be very accurate.

Having said that, I am sure that we are up by 4 points atleast right now, and because of my Sarah!!!

Just keep in mind that Zogby is a fellow Muslim with Hussein, and when push comes to shove around Oct 31 to nov 4 he will be there carrying Obama`s water.

[rep-always]

I am in agreement with you in prayer. We must ask the Lord for favor. May the Holy Spirit bless this country and guide it to a McCain/Palin victory. Amen.

Bradley effect is lying to a pollster based on race...

What the MSM has not considered is that in addition to the "Bradley Effect", there is probably going to be a "Palin Effect" -- liberal Democrat women who lie to pollsters but will vote for Palin because she is a woman.

I think this race is now Palin/Obama.
