Comments on: CLINTON, OBAMA, AND THE BRADLEY EFFECT http://www.healthcarebs.com/2008/01/09/clinton-obama-and-the-bradley-effect/ Cleaning the Augean Stables of the Health Care Debate Wed, 03 Dec 2008 07:59:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: salt1907 http://www.healthcarebs.com/2008/01/09/clinton-obama-and-the-bradley-effect/#comment-17654 salt1907 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 18:10:35 +0000 http://www.healthcarebs.com/2008/01/09/clinton-obama-and-the-bradley-effect/#comment-17654 Most conservatives/Republicans are dying for more blacks to join their cause. That is why Republicans fell all over themselves for Colin Powell in the 1990's and in 2000 - even though he is not conservative. That is why we flock to Thomas Sowell, Janice Rogers Brown and Clarence Thomas (in addition to the fact that Sowell, Brown and Thomas make more sense than any liberal and most Republicans). We don't need an excuse to oppose black liberals, while we genuinely welcome black conservatives. It is the Democrats who treat blacks as disposable, but are afraid to admit it. Thus, the misleading poll numbers. My position is, without knowing more about the Bradley effect or how it got its name, the Bradley effect applies only to Democrats.

I still like the "McCain effect" better as a theory to explain yesterday, http://cassandra2004.blogspot.com/2008/01/john-mccain-new-hampshire-barrack-obama.html but the "Bradley effect" has me intrigued.
