That about sums it up.
Will the
Bradley effect stlll be in play? (refers to Tom Bradley, the mayor of LA who was way ahead in polls when he ran for governor of Cali in 1982 against a political novice..but ended up losing the election - the issue: people say race is not an issue when polled or in public discussions/debates, but may act differently in the privacy of the voting booth)
We've come along way sine 1982, but who the heck knows.
Race may have been an issue in recent Senate elections in NC and TN...and some say it could explain the bad polls in NH, where Obama was way ahead in the polls, but Hillary won the primary
