I'd argue that the Bradley effect has long since been on the way down, and in any case I suspect this election is going to be truly historic in terms of voter turnout --
especially minority and youth voter turnout. These voter groups don't have nearly as high a potential for the Bradley Effect thing as the "core" white voter group. There was the Latino-Black contention, but considering Obama made a frickin'
Spanish language political ad...
In other words, as "contrary to Democracy" as it may seem to state this, but if John McCain wins the election tomorrow then there is something very wrong somewhere in the system. Oh, and we'll have disillusioned countless millions in one stroke.
And his team shares the blame. Not only was this election going to be historic in terms of the United States realigning itself after the disastrous Bush years, but through their negativity they also made it a grand contest of how America will do politics.
