Bradley effect

In recent weeks, a lot has been made about the so-called Bradley effect. There is some dispute about the real significance of it. However, most agree that only on election day will we see the true impact of the racial factor.

Well, Obama is back in the lead. The poll of polls on RealClearPolitics shows a 2 point lead. It would appear the Palin effect is subsiding. Not surprising, considering her reluctance to do press interviews after her mediocre performance with Charlie Gibson is raising questions. The most significant factor, however, is the financial crisis engulfing Wall Street coupled with a seemingly confused John McCain. It goes a long way toward explaining Obama’s rise in the polls.
