Personally I detest the notion of the Bradley Effect.

Not that people lie about pollsters, far from it, but that in this case deception (even alleged self-deception) is presumably based on closet racism, when I think it is far more likely people who *aren’t* racist, but perhaps concerned about being tarred that way.

I wouldn’t expect a shit-kickin’ redneck to fib to a pollster, but rather the college educated upper middle class voters who’ve been pC indoctrinated to the point that they feel almost guilty about not supporting Obama.
