This confirms what many FReepers have suspected - even Barry's campaign is afraid of the Bradley Effect. The battlegrounds are moving our way!

Ping this one around - it’s an important nugget of good news amidst the DBM agitprop campaign.

I don’t think this is Bradley effect. I think this is where the polls always were but - as completely expected - the pollsters who did their best to influence the race from in front are now “tightening the race” to reflect reality.

Seems like 0s campaign is sending a message to its troops not to be mesmerized by the state polls showing 0 up, big in some, and to make sure they get out the vote. We should do the same.

It’s not necessarily anything like a “Bradley effect” (which probably did not apply in that case either - the CA polling was terrible in that campaign).

It’s (1) fake poll recipes that have over-sampled Dems, and (2) pollsters now have to try to be accurate in the final days before Nov. 4, and (3) more people are paying attention and thinking about what the radical socialist Obama really represents.

Propagating the idea that Obama’s problems have anything to do with race is simply a left-wing talking point.

I agree.

But it might just be another Scare tactic.

I would rather the Obama campaign buy into their sunny poll prospects and be complacent.

McCain better GOTV.

Rich Lowry wrote on NRO about the headwinds facing John McCain. The way the world seems to be moving it might be time to repeat that phrase familiar to all sailors.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Cmdr John McCain!

Bradley effect my left testicle...People are not voting for a guy who wants to take their hard earned money...

Implied racism is a ugly method for spin bud. And the Bradley effect is little more than a left wing method of dehumanizing those who oppose them.

I don't think it's the Bradley effect. I think barry husseins campaign knew they were skewing the polls, but now that the pollsters have their rep on the line and need to be as accurate as possible, they have to do a little more truth telling.

And you know how much the truth scares the liberals.

Most people who don't drink the democRAT cool-aid don't like being told that they will be punished for their success to give what they earn to those who do nothing.

Most people don't want the CIC to be friendly with both domestic and foreign terrorists.

Most people don't like the way people like Sara Palin and Joe the Plumber have been treated by the press and the democRATs.

Most people don't like the idea of our national voting system is being usurped by those that would cheat and that Nobama is supporting them.

Most people don't want the government to tell them what kind of health care they are going to receive.

I can go on and on and on......

Like I have said before, 75% of my deomcRAT acquaintances are either voting for McCain or not voting at all. (I should state that I live in a VERY blue state of Maryland)

If the polls are moving McCain/Palins way it is because they don't want a radical socialist to be POTUS not because of the Bradley Effect.

Another cause for worry for 0: about 5% of his “fervent” supporters consist of people who may not even bother to vote because “something may come up”. This per Rasmussen. History suggests these people WON’T show on election day.

This is like what happens at a company right before it goes bankrupt.

The upper reaches know they are toast, in a last ditch move to save things, they have a middle manager send out some action items accompanied with re-assuring language. Then you show up at the office two days later and they tell you to pack your stuff, and don’t be surprised if your paycheck bounces.

The problem for Obama is that he is depending on re-tread losers who want a hand out to vote for him. By nature, it is very difficult to get them to do ANYTHING on their own. Add on top of that, his supporters are deranged losers who can’t get people to answer the door when they knock. Anecdotally, the obama campaign is like the ant hill I find in the yard. When I pee on it, the ants run around like crazy, but never really accomplish anything, except getting pee’d on.

Earlier this morning, I received my fifth urgent, increasingly frantic email in the last week and a half from MoveOn.org (I’m on their list, heh heh) begging for “get-out-the-vote” volunteers in Chapel Hill/Orange Co. North Carolina. I find it telling that they haven’t even russel up 220 volunteers in liberal CH/OC for a Saturday afternoon vote fraud event.
